The arrests of Hema and Pius Onwaso Okolonta, the Nigerian,on Saturday came following a tip off that the woman would handover a drug consignment to him which she had brought from Jammu and Kashmir.
Police had prior information that Hema had gone to Jammu to take a delivery of heroin on June 27 and will come back the next day and she will handover the consignment to Okolonta near Metro station in Nawada here.
As the duo reached the spot, both of them were apprehended by a waiting police team and 3.05 kg of heroin were allegedly recovered from them, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Alok Kumar said. Interrogation revealed that the entire network was led by one Zorawar based in Lahore and his alleged main conduit was one Rummy, who was receiving these consignments at Jammu.
Rummy was further supplying these drugs to different Nigerians in Delhi and surroundings areas, Kumar said. Hema has worked in Bhojpuri films and is aspiring actress and model, Kumar said adding she came into contact with Okolonta through a friend of his whom she had met in the bar. Okolonta, who came on tourist VISA in 2006 for six months and now overstaying, allegedly lured her into this drug trade, he said. A case has been registered and further investigations are on.
