The five persons were sourcing cocaine from Nigeria and supplying it to the customers in the city. Allam Satyam had supplied around 2.6 kilograms of cocaine in the last six months to the consumers.

Onuoha originally had a passport issued in Nigeria originally. To conceal her identity she managed to get another passport from Republic of Guine – Bissau (West Africa) with a fake name Joana Gomes and came to India in 2018. The other passport was meant to be used to escape from India in case police tried to catch her, said the DCP.

Azeez Noheem had come to India on a student visa in 2014 and is a close associate of Ebuka Suzee, who is currently absconding. The police suspect he might have escaped from the country after the recent crackdown.

The local peddler, Allam Satyam had supplied around 2.6 kilograms of cocaine in the last six months to the consumers. He was sourcing the drugs from Azeez and Ebuka Suzee at a lower price and selling to customers at a higher price. Varun Kumar, joined Allam Satyam in the illicit operations and both of them earned huge money through the trade.

The police identified certain bank accounts operated by the drug peddlers and froze the accounts.
