A coordinated operation by EAGLE, Telangana with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Delhi Police Crime Branch and support from the Noida Police has cracked open a nationwide drug syndicate run by Nigerian handlers operating across multiple States.
The raids were carried out at 20 locations in Delhi along with follow-up actions in Noida, Gwalior and Visakhapatnam, leading to the arrest of more than 50 Nigerians overstaying their visa and several associates involved in handling mule accounts, logistics and drug distribution.
The officers identified key operatives including Titing Guite (₹3.72 crore credited across her mule accounts), Yuvraj Solanki (₹1.98 crore credited) and Badruddin (₹15 lakh credited into six accounts) along with his associate Sama Umar. Investigators said the money flows showed no link to any legitimate business activity. The raids followed intelligence gathered after drug parcels and communication channels linked to a Nigerian operator, named Nick, were tracked across various Delhi neighbourhoods, prompting surveillance involving multiple agencies.
Drugs concealed in parcels
The network had been supplying narcotics to more than two thousand consumers and peddlers using dozens of mule bank accounts and a vast courier system. Parcels dispatched from areas including Lado Sarai, Mehrauli, Munirka, Nilothi and other colonies were routinely stuffed with drugs concealed inside shoes, shirts, cosmetics and similar goods. Courier firms across the board were used, and thousands of parcel records, POD sheets and CCTV clips were examined to map the operation.
