Hyderabad: A Nigerian national was deported by the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (HNEW), on suspicion of being involved in drug peddling, on Saturday, September 7.
The suspect was identified as 53-year-old Ikeji Innocent Nduka, who arrived in Mumbai in 2009 on a medical visa and moved to Chennai in 2014 where he operated a garments business for four years.
In May 2024 Nduka arrived in Hyderabad and engaged in illegal activities before being apprehended in Panjagutta. During the inquiry, he admitted to overstaying his visa in India.
Nduka kept his identity hidden under a fake name to avoid legal issues and travel to Nigeria without any hurdles.
