India Arrests Nigerian Footballer With Drugs

A Nigerian Footballer identified as Ikenna has been arrested with 10 grams of Crystal Meth . He was accused of living with an expired visa and was nabbed with crystal meth from northeast Delhi during a midnight raid and was subsequently taken to his house in Kardampuri in Jyoti Nagar where 18 grams of cocaine was also recovered.

A policeman, Atul Kumar Thakur, said that they were tipped off about Ikenna, who has been residing in India without a visa since 2013 and had entered the country initially as a professional football player.

A team led by ACP Gokulpuri Anuj Kumar nabbed him while he was on his way to a party where he was about to sell the contraband. Later, when the officers reached his house, they found more drugs.

Ikenna, upon interrogation, revealed an inter-state racket involving smuggling of party drugs.
