Five Nigerians have been arrested for allegedly trafficking in drugs in India and Malaysia.
A 35-year-old Nigerian, Uche Sylvester, who used to traffic drugs between Mumbai and Delhi, was arrested in the capital and 100 grams of cocaine was recovered from him, the Times of India reported on Sunday.
Sylvester was arrested near the Delhi airport on Thursday while returning from Mumbai, police said on Friday.
Indian Narcotics Control Bureau had earlier arrested three Nigerians for allegedly trying to smuggle out heroin worth Rs 2.50 crore from the Asian country.
Ude Chidi and Obumuneme Nwachukwu were arrested in New Delhi in separate alleged drug smuggling attempts.
Also, Ikechukuri Otuata, (32) was arrested after he was found in possession of 64g of cannabis.
He was arrested on Friday at the Saligao junction during routine late-night patrol by police sub-inspector Akshay Amonkar.
Since he was behaving suspiciously, the police team detained him for questioning and a search resulted in the discovery of 64g of cannabis from him.
Otuata was later detained in police custody for further investigation.
Meanwhile, a 27-year-old Nigerian registered as a student of a private college in Kuala Lumpur since June last year, was found with 0.85kg of methamphetamine concealed in a special compartment in his laptop bag, New Straits Times reported on Sunday.
Malaysian custom chief Siti Baya said the man was detained by Customs when his laptop bag showed a suspicious image when it was scanned on his arrival from Lagos.
For those of us that think that talking about the IGBOs when it comes to issues like this is tribalism should please understand that this affects the entire country and the image of our country. most of these boys have too much pressure from home. so even before they travel out of Nigeria, they make up their mind to get involve in things like this. The quest for wealth among Nigerians is getting too high. igbos are faced with so much challenges at home that they want to excel by all means. our society is a mojor cause of this evil trend.

More than 6, 000 Nigerian Citizens jailed Abroad for drug trafficking Offenses' - NDLEA
Not more than 6,000 Nigerians are serving various jail terms for drug-related offences abroad, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has said. According to the NDLEA, Nigeria is the only African country with such a frightening figure.
The agency said that the figure may be higher as the available data could not be said to be totally exhaustive. NDLEA Director General, Mr. Femi Ajayi, told the House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Matters that Iran has 4,000 inmates, Brazil 500, Thailand 500 and Malaysia 300.
He said: "The bulk of those caught for drug-related offences outside the country were from the South-East with majority coming from Anambra State. "I do not know what we can do to the upsurge of our brothers from the South East-who indulges in this kind of business.
Can you believe that of the 500 Nigerians in Thailand prisons, 480 of them are from the South-East and 450 from the figure are from Anambra State".
Ajayi, however, decried lack of adequate funding of the agency's activities, adding that the development has had negative impact on its ability to fight drug trafficking
