Two Nigerian women, Chikanso James and Happiness Okoye, have been apprehended in India for allegedly carrying a substantial quantity of cocaine. The women, aged 43 and 41 respectively, were detained at Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station by the Railway Police. The consignment, valued at approximately Rs20 crore, or N380m, comprised 11 packets of the illicit substance, with all of it confirmed to be cocaine following a forensic examination.
The women were apprehended during a routine patrol, prompting a search under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Police suspect the drugs were part of a larger drug trafficking operation between Mumbai and the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). During questioning, James claimed the drugs were collected from Vikaspuri, and efforts are underway to uncover the identities of other suspected members and trace the drug's supply chain.
James was held in police custody while Okoye was placed under judicial custody as authorities continue their investigation.
