Pakistani law enforcement agencies have apprehended 20 Nigerian nationals in a sweeping intelligence-led crackdown targeting organized drug syndicates operating across the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
According to a statement issued by Pakistan’s Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), the coordinated raids resulted in the recovery of 4.432 kilograms of illicit substances, including cocaine, methamphetamine (commonly known as ice), and cannabis.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects formed part of an international drug distribution network. The syndicate allegedly focused its operations on peddling narcotics to young people, particularly targeting students within educational institutions and local residential hostels.
Authorities revealed that the sweep followed intense surveillance and intelligence gathering on the network’s hideouts. The ANF has expanded the scope of its ongoing inquiries to unmask major financial backers, local collaborators, and any wider transnational links associated with the syndicate.
