Nigerian Woman Nabbed in India With N1.8bn Worth of MDMA Crystals
Nigerian Woman Nabbed in India With N1.8bn Worth of MDMA Crystals
BENGALURU, INDIA — A 25-year-old Nigerian woman, Ifeoluwa Akinwunmi, has been arrested by India’s Anti-Narcotics Wing of the Central Crime Branch for allegedly trafficking a large quantity of illegal drugs valued at over N1.8 billion.
Akinwunmi, who claimed to be a hairstylist and nail artist, was intercepted last Tuesday at Tarahunase village, Rajanukunte Main Road in Bengaluru, while allegedly in possession of 5.325 kilograms of MDMA (Ecstasy) crystals concealed in a travel bag. The drug haul, estimated at Rs 10 crore, was said to have been smuggled from Delhi.
According to The New Indian Express, the suspect — also known as Princess — was acting as a courier and had arrived to deliver the narcotics to a group of African drug peddlers. “She had come to hand over the drugs to a man in a black hat, but the pickup didn’t happen,” a police officer said.
Officers stated that Akinwunmi was standing alone with a suspicious bag and appeared nervous. Upon inspection, officers found the MDMA stash hidden among 11 traditional Indian churidars.
During interrogation, Akinwunmi insisted she was unaware of the bag’s contents, claiming a friend in Delhi had asked her to deliver it. She told investigators she came to India in 2021 to start a salon business and identified herself as the daughter of a Nigerian civil servant — though she withheld further personal information.
Authorities revealed that while Akinwunmi initially arrived on a business visa, she later secured a student visa to study at a university in Telangana but never enrolled. Her visa expired in 2022, and she had been living illegally in India ever since.
The arrest comes just two days after another Nigerian national, Emmanuel Bediako a.k.a. Maxwell, was arrested in Telangana for a similar offence, further raising concerns about an expanding drug network involving foreign nationals.
Investigators say Akinwunmi’s boyfriend, suspected to be a key figure in the trafficking ring, is currently on the run in Delhi. “There are credible leads, and we will be taking her into custody for further investigation,” an officer said.
Akinwunmi has since been transferred to the jurisdictional Chikkajala Police Station as investigations continue. This is her first known offence in the city, though authorities are working to determine whether she is linked to other cases across India.

Police Day 2026: IGP Disu Leads Nationwide Walkathon To Strengthen Community Trust
Police Day 2026: IGP Disu Leads Nationwide Walkathon To Strengthen Community Trust
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Tuesday led the management team, alongside officers and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, in a nationwide walkathon to commemorate the 2026 National Police Day.
The event, held across state capitals and the Federal Capital Territory, formed part of activities marking Day Two of the annual celebration, themed “Community Partnership: Building Trust.”
The symbolic exercise, which drew participation from both police personnel and members of the public, was aimed at showcasing unity, discipline, and a renewed commitment to community policing and public safety.
According to the Force leadership, the walkathon underscores the Nigeria Police Force’s resolve to strengthen public trust, deepen engagement with citizens, and enhance collaboration in tackling security challenges across the country.
Participants described the initiative as a practical step toward bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve, while also promoting physical fitness and mental well-being among officers and civilians alike.
With the theme reflecting a shared responsibility for safety, the Police reiterated that sustainable security can only be achieved through active partnership with the public.
The event concluded with a renewed call for collective action under the banner: “Together We Walk, Together We Secure,” emphasizing unity of purpose in building a safer and more secure society for all Nigerians.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.
To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.
It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?
Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.
However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.
The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.
Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
