Thrissur, Keralam: Two Nigerian nationals and a woman from Nagaland were arrested in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, in connection with the seizure of MDMA in Kaipamangalam, police said on Sunday.
The arrested persons were identified as Kingsley Gochao and Amosu Ikechukwu, both Nigerian nationals, and Esalki, a native of Nagaland.
The trio allegedly supplied the drugs to Minshad and Shajil, who were arrested by Kaipamangalam police with 34.990 grams of MDMA on November 12, police said.

The arrested persons were subsequently brought to Kaipamangalam police station for further procedures.
They will be produced before the court as part of the remand proceedings, police said.
