The Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai police arrested four Nigerian nationals with cocaine worth Rs 2.4 lakh in suburban Goregaon, an official said Monday.
The arrests and seizure were made by an ANC patrolling unit near the old check-post on Aarey Road late Sunday night, an official said.
"Police teams spotted a taxi carrying four Nigerian nationals and brought it to a halt, on the basis of suspicion, after tailing it for some distance. The four persons were searched and we recovered 40 grams of cocaine worth about Rs 2.4 lakh in the illicit market," he added.
The official identified the four as Paul Anayau Osinakachi (31), Okichiku Obanna Matince (35), Godswil Dike Chitachi (27) and Ruben Ajah Godwin (26), adding that all have been charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
