HYDERABAD: Sleuths of Hyderabad Narcotic Enforcement Wing (H-NEW), along with the Narayanguda Police, apprehended a Nigerian national for peddling drugs.

The arrest was made at Niyaz Khana near King Koti Hospital under the Narayanguda Police Station limits.
According to a Hyderabad police press note, the Nigerian, Osigwe Chukwuemeka James (37), who was illegally residing in Hyderabad, secured narcotic substances from Goa before selling them in Hyderabad.
