Nigerian Woman Arrested In India Over Cocaine Trafficking Ring (DETAILS)

Indian police have arrested a 41-year-old Nigerian woman, Sarah Kumama, in Bengaluru for her alleged involvement in a transnational cocaine trafficking ring spanning several Indian cities.

The arrest was confirmed by The Times of India on Thursday. Authorities said Kumama, who also went by the aliases “Happiness” and “Blessings,” was a central figure in the network and played a key role in coordinating drug distribution operations across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai.

An officer involved in the investigation said law enforcement agencies are still tracing the full extent of the supply network. “With Sarah’s arrest, we have apprehended 25 people involved in this network. Efforts are on to trace more links in the supply chain,” the officer stated.

Items recovered from the suspects include 65 grams of cocaine, 1.7 kilograms of ganja, various drug paraphernalia, 20 mobile phones, several vehicles, and weighing machines.

Authorities said the investigation remains active, and more arrests could follow as police probe further connections within and outside India.
