Emeka came to India on a business visa, which had expired last year. He had made several successful trips to Goa in the past.
When the police arrested him on Friday, they found 4.5 kg of cocaine in his possession.
Emeka is being interrogated by police to find out about his partners in drug trade.
The police have registered a case against him under the India Narcotics, Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.
