Nigerian held with 30 gm cocaine at Delhi airport

New Delhi: A Nigerian national, who is pursuing a computer course in Mumbai, was arrested at the IGI airport here for allegedly possessing 30 grams of high quality cocaine.
Oluwasegun Sesan (28) was caught by a Delhi Police team last night from the exit gate of airport after a tip off that an African would come to the capital by 'Go Air' flight with the contraband, a senior police official said today.
Thirty grams of cocaine, with a street value of about Rs 1.5 lakh, was recovered from his possession. Sesan, whose family is involved in business in Nigeria, had visited India in 2004 and had stayed in Mumbai for about six months. He again came to Mumbai two years later on an employment visa and was pursuing a computer course. It was one Ibrahim, an alleged drug peddler, who introduced Sesan into the contraband trade, the official said, adding he came to the capital to supply cocaine to some customers here.
