Nigerians Identified As Biggest Smugglers In India Why Always Us (nigeria)? by Eggheaded(m): 1:19pm On May 14, 2017
- According to police in India,
Nigeria make up the biggest
smugglers of drugs

- The country said the
smugglers worked in network
in different cities

- This has affected Nigerians
living and doing honest
business there
The India police in the Navi
Mumbai have listed Nigerian
nationals as the biggest
smugglers of drugs over the past five years,

Vanguard reports that according to sources from the anti-narcotic cell of the city, 66 cases where recorded in five years with
Nigerians involved in 14 of the
cases.

Also, India has arrested 14
foreign nationals for smuggling
drugs into the city with Nigerians making up 13 of them and one from Ghana.
Just a week ago, the police
arrested one Nigerian from
Kopar Khairane who had come
to sell mephedrone rock and
powder.
On the issue of foreign nationals, several Bangladeshi were
arrested for currency fraud, theft and other forms of crime but
none for smuggling drugs.
Tushar Doshi who is the deputy
commissioner of police said:
“When it comes to drug
smuggling by foreign nationals,
by and large all the criminals are from Africa in general and from Nigeria in particular. The number of foreign nationals including those from Africa has also
increased in the city over the
past two years.”
He explained that they worked in networks and also in other cities.
Maya More who is the police
inspector from the anti-narcotic
cell said: “These criminals collect their drugs from people in their networks and then smuggle
those to different cities. The
biggest problem faced while
trying to get details about their
business is the language issue.
We cannot interrogate them
properly after their arrests, as
many of them cannot speak
proper English or any Indian
language.”
Amit Shellar who is the police
sub-inspector from the anti-
narcotic cell said: “Most of the
Nigerians arrested for drug
smuggling, had come to India on a business visa. Initially, they
would export garments from
Mumbai to their country.
However, when their business
would fail, they would trade
drugs for easy money.”
An officer who spoke on the
condition of anonymity added
that “They initially target students from the affluent families and
help in forming a habit of taking
the drug. Once they create a
good number of customers, they keep selling it to them.”

We ndigbo can do better than importing drugs all over everywhere. Wonder why they don't like us and we blame everything on Maginalisation. It's time we turn new leaf away from crime and stop disgracing Nigerians everywhere we live.
