Andhra Jyoti, December 21:A Nigerian man has been arrested by the Narcotics Enforcement Wing (HNEW) in Hyderabad on charges of drug smuggling. It seems that this suspect, who came to India on a student visa, cheated young women in the name of love and cohabitation and turned them into drug agents.

The Nigerian, who has been selling drugs for four years without being noticed by the police, changed cities every three months and rented five houses in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Goa. He used to identify young women and give them drugs for free and make them transport drugs under the guise of love.

This scam came to light when he met a young woman working as a nurse in Kompally and hid the drugs in her house. The person used code language to sell drugs. For example, he would send 3 question marks (???) to ask if he wanted a mall, and 'three dots' if drugs were ready.

He would use symbols like 'ocean' for ganja, 'sea' for green MDMA, 'bakara' for MDMA in Mumbai. Using 'score' as a common code for all types of drugs, 'Did you score uncle?' He used to take orders. The authorities are conducting a more in-depth investigation on this drug racket.
