Two Nigerian nationals held for smuggling heroin: Police

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have arrested two Nigerian nationals, Amans Osaretin (alias Fred) and Thompson (alias Emeka), for allegedly running a heroin distribution syndicate across

Delhi-NCR.

Acting on a tip-off, police intercepted a car near Ashram Ring Road on December 26. A search revealed 442 grams of heroin concealed in a juice pack inside Osaretin’s

jacket pocket.

His disclosure led to Thompson’s arrest in Nilothi Extension. Four mobile phones used for drug operations

were seized.

Fred, a Greater Noida resident, arrived in India in 2014 for medical treatment. Thompson, who arrived in 2021 for medical reasons,

overstayed his visa.

The pair are linked to a multi-state drug network.
