The Anti-Narcotic Cell (ANC) of Goa Police conducted a narcotics raid in Siolim, North Goa, early Wednesday morning. They arrested a Nigerian national, Innocent Nzedigwe, who was found with drugs worth Rs 4.6 lakh.
The 23-year-old had been under police surveillance for several days. The ANC received information that a Nigerian national would be near Siolim Bridge to deliver contraband. Using human intelligence and technical surveillance, the ANC laid a trap and arrested Nzedigwe.
The narcotics team seized 40 grammes of cocaine and 6 grammes of ecstasy powder. Initial interrogation revealed that Nzedigwe had arrived in India a year ago as a student and had enrolled in a BBA programme at a university in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Further investigation showed that he held a valid passport and visa, and his stay documentation, including police verification and C-Form, was in order.
