NCB raises issue of Nigerians involved in trafficking with their top drug cop

Hindustan Times  

Over 8,000 Nigerian nationals were found involved in drug trafficking and financial crimes, having overstayed their Indian visas by two years or more, the Narcotics Control Bureau informed Nigeria’s top drug enforcement officer, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa, during a high-level meeting in Delhi last week, people familiar with the development said on Tuesday. Indian officials conveyed to the Nigerian side the trend of “reverse smuggling” of Afghan heroin via Africa as well as Nigerian cartels’ hiring young men and women from north-eastern states to deploy them as drug mules. Detailing the “reverse smuggling” trend, NCB officials pointed out to Marwa and his team that Afghan heroin is trafficked to African countries, including Nigeria, through maritime routes and then sent to India. The NCB’s annual report 2021 said drug trafficking through maritime routes in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, estimated to be around 70% of total illegal drugs smuggling in India, posed a major new challenge for law enforcement agencies and it was anticipated that the use of maritime routes by Pakistan- and Afghanistan-based syndicates could increase going forward.
