Nigerian, two others arrested with drugs worth Rs 3 crore

Anti-narcotics sleuths have arrested three persons, including a Nigerian, and seized drugs worth Rs 3 crore as they unearthed an alleged drug racket being run with supply coming from foreign shores.
Officials said the action was carried out by the Delhi zonal unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after they intercepted an incoming foreign parcel that contained 500 gms of cocaine.
NCB officials, they said, found that the Nigerian, identified as Bartholomew Okoh alias Prince, was the alleged kingpin of the racket with aid from two locals identified as A Rehman and Md Hanif.
The duo were handling the said illicit parcel that had come from Port of Spain, capital of Trinidad and Tobago, on behalf of Okoh, a resident of Vikaspuri, they said.

"The price of the drug in illegal market is about Rs 3 crore," they said, adding the three persons were arrested yesterday under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS).
Okoh was living in India since 2012, they said.
