Delhi Police Seize Over 1kg Cocaine Worth ₦1.49 Bn, Arrest Nigerian Supplier

A police operation in Mehrauli, New Delhi, led to the arrest of 35-year-old Nigerian national John Chibuike. Officers recovered more than one kilogram of high-purity cocaine valued at approximately ₹10 crore (around ₦1.49 billion). The Special Staff of Delhi Police South District carried out the raid on March 30 under Operation Kavach 13.0. A case was filed under relevant sections of the NDPS Act, and investigators are tracing the wider supply network. Earlier in March, a separate team in Paharganj dismantled a street-level heroin racket. They arrested three suspects and seized over 34 grams of heroin along with cash proceeds. Authorities say both actions underscore a sustained crackdown on narcotics in the capital.
