Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has arrested a wanted drug kingpin, Damilare Ajiboye aka \u2018Na God\u2019, after 12 months of evading arrest.<\/p>\n

The arrest followed a raid on his warehouse in Akala, Mushin area of Lagos.<\/p>\n

The NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi said in a statement on Sunday in Abuja that the suspect was arrested on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Babafemi said that 1,101kg of Ghana Loud, a strong strain of cannabis was recovered at the warehouse on Sept. 4, 2023.<\/p>\n

He, however, said the arrest of Ajiboye in a bank in Ogun, followed well-coordinated efforts by the agency\u2019s Directorate of Assets and Financial Investigation, which traced 20 bank accounts linked to the suspect and blocked them.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Babafemi said that NDLEA operatives in Lagos on Friday took into custody a wanted community leader and Sarkin Yamma of Badagry, Alhaji Bashir Talba.<\/p>\n

This, he said, followed the arrest of his two wives and son, as well as the seizure of a total of 226.2kg cannabis at their homes in Badagry on Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

In another operation in Lagos, the NDLEA said more than 9.7kg cannabis sativa and 50 litres of monkey tail, a fermented combo of cannabis and dry gin, were recovered from a suspect Florence Moses at Badore area of Ajah, Lekki on Tuesday Sept. 24.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Kogi, three suspects, Owolabi Dele, 42; Ayodele Monday, 40; and Olawale Ojo, 22, were arrested by NDLEA operatives along Okene-Lokoja-Abuja expressway.<\/p>\n

Babafemi added that they were arrested while conveying 132 sacks of cannabis weighing 2,062.00kg in a Mercedes container truck from Osun to Dei Dei in Abuja.<\/p>\n
