Bengaluru Police Seize MDMA Worth ₦4.9bn, Arrest Four Including Nigerian National

In a coordinated raid, Hebbal police teams arrested four alleged inter-state drug peddlers and seized 17.58 kg of MDMA crystals valued at about ₹34 crore (around ₦4.9 billion). One suspect, a Nigerian national, had publicly taunted local authorities on social media and vowed to continue trafficking despite the intensified crackdown. Investigators say the ring hid the MDMA inside food packets to slip past checkpoints. They also allege a kingpin operating from Nigeria directed local dealers by sending encrypted messages after an earlier seizure. The arrested include Solomon Tochukwu, Rakhangmi Tanirose, Mohan Kumar and Johnson. Police are tracing a wider interstate network and other associates involved in the racket.
