Nigerian gets drugs from Indian crime boss, arrested

In yet another drug bust, a Nigerian man peddling drugs was arrested near Apollo Hospital in Jubilee Hills on Friday and four grams of cocaine were recovered from him.

Police are now planning to book a case under Foreigners Act along with other sections as the accused, Jimmy Amuzu, does not have a passport.

Jimmy, 30, was provided 'shelter' in SB Residency, Mini Gulshan Colony, Tolichowiki, by a woman. 

Police said a fellow Nigerian staying in Mumbai would supply the cocaine to him. 

Assistant excise superintendent N Anji Reddy said Jimmy came to the city recently to supply the drug to customers.

"The Mumbai-based crime boss identifies himself as 'government'. Based on his instructions, Jimmy came to Hyderabad and met one Timoti at Mini Gulshan Colony, who provided him with a cellphone. Jimmy told the sleths that 'government' gets orders for supply of cocaine, which later are forwarded to him."

"Jimmy sells one gm of cocaine for 6000 rupees and gets a commission of 2000 per gm", Anji Reddy said.

Sleuths seized the cellphone and 17000 rupees cash from the accused. "As Jimmy does not have a passport, we lodged a complaint with Banjara Hills police asking to book a case under the Foreigners"
