The Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested three individuals suspected of being involved in the distribution of party drugs.

The suspects, identified as David Narh and Emmanual Nsiah from Ghana, and Chimobi Okpara from Nigeria, were apprehended in connection with the illegal drug trade.

According to DCP Amit Kaushik, the police seized a significant amount of contraband from the suspects. “A total of 64 grams of high-quality cocaine and 20 ecstasy pills were recovered from the suspects,” said Kaushik.

The operation unfolded after the Trans Yamuna Range of Special Cell received information about the movement of two persons engaged in supplying party drugs.

Acting swiftly on the information, the police intercepted Narh and Nsiah on SFS Flats Road in Mayur Vihar Phase-3, Delhi.

Upon searching the suspects, 56.69 grams of cocaine and 20 ecstasy pills were discovered. Further investigation led to the apprehension of Okpara, identified as the source of the contraband, and additional drugs were recovered from his residence in a Greater Noida Society.

Kaushik provided details of the operation, stating, “On their search, a total of 56.69 grams of cocaine and 20 pills of ecstasy were recovered. A criminal case under the appropriate sections of law was registered against them in this regard, and the accused were taken on police remand.”

He continued, “On their disclosure, another accused who was the source of the recovered contraband, namely Chimobi David Okpara was apprehended and was produced in court, and a search warrant of his flat in a Greater Noida Society was taken from the court. On the search of his flat, a further 7.12 grams of Saing was recovered. Efforts are on to identify the forward and backward chain of the syndicate.”

Providing background information on the suspects, Kaushik revealed that Narh, born and raised in Accra, Ghana, arrived in India in December 2023 due to economic hardship. He met Okpara in Africa, who introduced him to the narcotics trade in Delhi.

Nsiah, also from Accra, Ghana, moved to India in mid-January 2024, following advice from friends for better earning opportunities. He was instructed by Okpara to deliver narcotics.

Okpara, a 27-year-old Nigerian, came to India in 2018 and engaged in drug trafficking in Delhi/NCR after initially staying in Mumbai. He eventually settled in Casa Granda, Greater Noida, where he continued his illegal activities.
