Indian police arrest six Nigerians wanted in murder case

The suspects were identified as Eze Christopher Oba, Ahukanna Chinonso, Obi Francis Osita, Okoro Kelvin Chidozie, Emmanuel Agbeyi and Osagiede Godstime.

The duo –Ifeanyi Charles Okuakaj and Emmanuel Enuma Dike – were nabbed in the city of Guwahati, Assam State.

Their arrest followed an investigation by the Guwahati Police into an international drug trafficking racket which unearthed clues about drug shipment routes to Assam from neighbouring Indian states and countries.

Okuakaj and Dike were said to have been apprehended at the Guwahati Railway Station while travelling by the Dibrugarh-bound Rajdhani Express.

According to Guwahati Police, they were found with 20 grammes of cocaine, Aadhar cards and PAN cards registered to an address in Delhi.

It was claimed that they entered India from Bangladesh through the Dawki border in Meghalaya. They came to Guwahati and then Delhi, before returning to Guwahati with a plan to return to Bangladesh.

The police claimed that the duo’s arrest proved the presence of a ‘cartel smuggling cocaine to Guwahati and other states of the Northeast from Guwahati’.
