Pakistani authorities have arrested 20 Nigerians suspected of belonging to an organised drug trafficking network following coordinated raids across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
The operation, conducted by the country’s Anti-Narcotics Force, led to the seizure of 4.432kg of cocaine, methamphetamine and cannabis, according to Pakistan Today, which reported the development on Friday.
The ANF said the raids were carried out based on intelligence reports targeting drug trafficking hideouts in the two cities.
