ANF arrests 20 Nigerians in Islamabad, Rawalpindi drug crackdown
The Anti-Narcotics Force says the suspects sold drugs to students and that officers seized 4 kg 432 g of cocaine, ice and weed after covert surveillance.
The Anti-Narcotics Force arrested 20 Nigerian nationals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi in a crackdown on an international drug network, Aaj News reported.
According to the force, the suspects are accused of selling narcotics to young people, particularly students at educational institutions in the two cities.
The arrests came after covert surveillance, the ANF said. Officers recovered a total of 4 kg 432 g of drugs from the men detained, the report said.
The haul consisted of 1 kg 682 g of cocaine, 2 kg of ice, or crystal methamphetamine, and 750 g of weed, according to the force.
Aaj News reported that legal proceedings against the arrested men have been started. The report did not name the suspects, give their ages, or identify the specific charges filed against them in court.
The operation was carried out in both cities at once, with the ANF describing the group as part of an international network supplying drugs locally. The force is the federal agency responsible for enforcing Pakistan's narcotics laws.
The report gave no figure for the total quantity of drugs the network is believed to have moved, and did not say whether investigators were seeking other suspects in the case.
