An assignment to peddle 100 grams of cocaine in the city led to the arrest of a ‘most-wanted’ Nigerian drug peddler, Chukwu Ogbonna David alias Tony, along with his network of distributors and customers, in Hyderabad.
Verified sources told The Hindu that the transactions originated in the first week of January. Two aides of the kingpin from Mumbai, Imran Babu Shaik and Noor Mohammed Khan, were first arrested from outside a mall at Punjagutta, where they had been waiting to deliver a package.
When interrogated, they spilled the beans, and police came to know of the registered number of Tony’s Toyota in Mumbai, from where Hyderabad police had picked him up and brought here.
