A 66-year-old Nigerian national, arrested in May 2023 for his role in a ₹420 crore methamphetamine (MDMA) lab case, died in Luksar jail, Noida, India, due to complications from kidney disease. The man, who had been receiving treatment and undergoing dialysis at AIIMS Delhi, deteriorated after a recent session and was rushed to GIMS in Greater Noida, where he was pronounced dead. His arrest was part of a larger operation that saw the seizure of 30.9 kilograms of MDMA worth around ₹120 crore and involved the arrest of ten foreign nationals, primarily from Nigeria. Following his death, a post-mortem was conducted in the presence of friends who were also arrested but later released on bail. The authorities have informed the Nigerian embassy, which will coordinate with the deceased's family regarding the repatriation of his body or local funeral arrangements. His bail had been rejected, and the case remains pending in the Allahabad High Court.
