Two Nigerian nationals were on Friday, arrested by India police and 50 g of cocaine worth Rs. 2.5 lakh (N1.2million) recovered from them.

The accused - Nduba Joseph (25) and Nwite Sunday Rose (32) from East Nigeria - were nabbed from an apartment in Indiranagar where they were staying.

The accused reportedly confessed that they used to get cocaine from their contact, identified as Ben from T.C. Palya, and sell it.

The police have booked the duo under Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and remanded them in judicial custody. Efforts are on to nab Ben, who is said to be on the run.

Indian news portal TheHindu adds that the police have also seized their travel documents for further investigations.
