An Indian court has sentenced a Nigerian woman to 10-year imprisonment having been found guilty of smuggling heroin to Mohali, Junjab, India.
The court also fined her ₹1 lakh, and should she fail to pay the fine, the convict will have to further undergo imprisonment of one year.
The convict, Joy Cheeka Ozuma was arrested by the Mohali Special Task Force (STF) in May 2018 near Nature Park in Phase 9 following a tip-off.
The STF recovered 1kg heroin from her.
According to the case, the woman came to India on a business visa in 2015 and sold ready-made garments in Delhi, Noida and Tripura, but to earn extra money, she started smuggling drugs.
