The Hyderabad Narcotic Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) on Wednesday deported a Nigerian national identified as Onyeukwu Kelechi Victor (28), to his home country on charges of overstaying in India and indulging in drug peddling activities considered a threat to national security.

According to the police, Victor, a native of Enugu

State in Nigeria, had arrived in India in October, 2021, on a student visa to pursue a BCA course at a college in Bengaluru.

However, he discontinued his studies due to financial issues and got involved with a Nigerian-based drug syndicate, reportedly supplying drugs in Bengaluru and Hyderabad on a commission basis.
