A Nigerian national, Jacob Nnabuike Ugwu, 37, has been arrested in Delhi, India, for allegedly operating a drug trafficking ring under the disguise of a refreshment business.
According to Indian authorities, Ugwu supplied Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) across various states, using a network of local operatives.

He was apprehended after the Indore crime branch seized 36 grams of MD drugs, a Tata Altroz vehicle, and mobile phones from two Indian accomplices—Hariom Jha and Lakshya Singh Rajput.
Police reports confirm that Jacob had been living in Delhi’s Krishna Puri area for over two years. While his cover business appeared legitimate, it served as a front for large-scale MD drug distribution.
The accused reportedly confessed to his involvement, revealing that he distributed drugs through associates while evading law enforcement. His arrest is part of an ongoing crackdown on international narcotics operations in India.
Jacob, a native of Enugu City, Nigeria, is under police remand as authorities expand their investigation. More arrests are expected as Indian and central agencies probe the financial and operational network behind the scheme.
This development highlights the growing concern over cross-border drug syndicates and the need for strengthened international cooperation to combat drug trafficking.
