Accused Ezeh Christian Chuku and Nwoko Nudubisi Keneth, both Nigerians, came to Delhi and Mumbai respectively for the purpose of education and business. Both the accused procured cocaine from one Duglus, an Ethiopian national, from Delhi and brought it to city for selling to prospective customers, Hyderabad Police Commissioner M Mahender Reddy told reporters.
