Nigerian Man Arrested in Bengaluru with ₹2 Crore Worth of MDMA
Bengaluru police have taken into custody Samuel Ikkena, a Nigerian national, after seizing roughly 2 kg of MDMA crystals valued at about ₹2 crore on the international market. He was arrested by Yelahanka Newtown officers for allegedly peddling narcotics under the guise of selling clothes. Ikkena entered India on a business visa in 2012 and initially traded garments in Delhi and Mumbai. In 2025, he relocated to Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, where police say he switched to selling illicit substances. Authorities have filed charges against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act at Yelahanka Newtown station. Investigators are tracing the drug supply chain and identifying other members of the suspected network. Earlier this month, the Narcotics Control Wing of the Central Crime Branch also arrested two interstate dealers and seized LSD strips, hydro ganja, charas, a motorcycle, and mobile phones in a raid.
