Nigerian woman on medical visa arrested in India for allegedly tr@fficking illicit substances

A Nigerian woman, identified as Faith Racheal, has been arrested by Indian authorities in Delhi for allegedly smuggling and supplying a substantial quantity of psychotropic substances.

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday, August 14, in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, TimesNow reports.

According to the police, Racheal was found in possession of 3.87 kilograms of mescaline, a powerful hallucinogenic dr¥g, with an estimated value of around Rs 15 crore in the international market.

Mescaline, a psychedelic substance with effects similar to LSD and Psilocybin (magic mushrooms), has been identified as a party drug, officials stated on Thursday, August 22, 2024. They revealed that the drug was smuggled inside packages of branded toffees and fish food.

Racheal had initially arrived in India in August 2022 on a medical visa but had overstayed her visa period.

During her extended stay, she allegedly became involved with a Nigerian national engaged in drug smuggling, ultimately joining a narcotics cartel.

The police revealed that Racheal played a key role in facilitating the delivery of narcotics between couriers, utilising her connections within the cartel.
