Kollam/New Delhi: Eravipuram Police arrested a foreign national from Delhi, who is reportedly one of the main distributors of MDMA in Kerala. The accused, Agbedo Asuka Solomon (29), is a Nigerian national. 

Solomon, who arrived in India over a year ago on a business visa, was allegedly operating under the digital control of a drug lord based in Nigeria. He had been overstaying illegally after losing his passport, which he failed to report to the authorities, police said.

A thorough investigation has been launched to uncover his supply chain in Kerala and other parts of the country, the police added.

Information about Solomon was obtained from Shiju Azeer, Asim Khan, Rafiq, and Faisal, who were previously arrested on March 12 under section 22(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. Following this, City Police Commissioner Kiran Narayanan appointed a special investigation team.
