**Nigerian Woman Arrested in Chennai Drug Trafficking Ring Bust**

**CHENNAI, June 27, 2025** – Chennai police have arrested a Nigerian woman, Sarah Kumama, also known as Happiness and Blessings, in connection with a major cocaine peddling network operating in the city. The arrest is the latest in a series of drug-related crackdowns by the Anti-Narcotic Intelligence Unit (ANIU) and Greater Chennai Police, which have been ongoing for the past ten months.

The investigation began in January following the arrest of Fayas Ahamed and S. Chandrasekar. Their confessions led to the apprehension of 14 additional individuals linked to the cartel. Subsequent investigations resulted in the total arrests of 24 people, including two Nigerian nationals (one from Bengaluru, one from Mumbai), in addition to local Chennai suspects. Actors Srikanth and Krishna were also arrested earlier this week.

Further analysis of call records and bank transactions revealed the involvement of the suspect, Kumama, in the network. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, a special police team traveled to Bengaluru and arrested her. She has been brought to Chennai and remanded to judicial custody. Police seized two mobile phones from her possession. This operation highlights the ongoing efforts of Chennai police to combat drug trafficking in the region.
