State Monitoring Cell (SMC) sleuths on Thursday arrested two Nigerian nationals with Amphetamine and Methamphetamine drugs worth Rs 1.26 crore from Vapi in Valsad.

Acting on a tip-off, SMC officials kept a watch near the railway overbridge at Kareambela village on National Highway-48 in Valsad on Thursday. They intercepted a car, which was moving “suspiciously” and found two Nigerian nationals inside the vehicle. On checking their luggage, officials found some chemical substance. Forensic Science Laboratory officials, who examined it on the spot, declared it as drugs. The teams weighed the contraband and found that 252.14 grams of the substance was worth Rs 1.26 crore.

Police also seized their mobile phones and recovered cash worth Rs 5,200 from their possession. The duo, arrested under different sections of the NDPS Act, were identified as Kelichiku Aze Francis (40) and Akimwani Taiwo David (28), both residents of Nalasopara in Palghar district, Maharashtra, and hails from Lagos in Nigeria.

SMC officials said that Francis was arrested in 2022 in a narcotics case by Mumbra police in Mumbai, and was released on bail in January 2025. Officials also said that Francis had come down to India in 2014, while David arrived in 2019. Officials are ing details of their visa on the basis of their ports. Police are also trying to find out details about the receiver of the drugs.

Sources in the SMC said that earlier on February 17, SMC officials arrested a Nigerian woman, identified as Mgbudom Margret Ene (37), with 149.510 grams of cocaine worth Rs 1.49 crore from National Highway-48 between Navsari and Surat. Ene stays in Mumbai’s Kashimira area.

My goodness! Can't we just live a decent life whenever we travel outside the shores of this country.

Why Nigerians relocate to "India, Cambodia, Kazakhstan and the Philippines" is still a mystery to me?

I am a farmer and I live a peaceful and decent life. I don't envy people because I have what I need.

Please don't release these animals because they will continue to cause harm and bring shame to Nigeria. Forget their families, they don't care. All they care about is money and obodo-oyibo.

Up North, we value our family name more than anything. You just cannot mess up the legacy of your father and ancestors.

Please Jail them for life or kill them.

Transportation of illicit drugs can bring in lots of money

One Ghanaian man resident in the UK had to send his son to school in Ghana because the kid was suddenly spending lots of money. Kid was a drug mule.
