The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has successfully captured two infamous drug traffickers in a series of operations, including the notorious Damilare Ajiboye, known as ‘Na God.’ His arrest marks the end of a year-long chase by law enforcement officials and took place during a raid on his warehouse in the Akala area of Mushin, Lagos.

NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi reported that the raid occurred on Wednesday, yielding a staggering 1,101 kg of Ghana Loud, a potent cannabis strain, recovered on September 4, 2023. Prior to Ajiboye’s arrest, the agency’s Directorate of Assets and Financial Investigation managed to trace and freeze 20 bank accounts linked to him while he was at a bank in Ogun State.

In another operation, NDLEA agents apprehended Alhaji Bashir Talba, a sought-after community leader and Sarkin Yamma of Badagry. His arrest came after his two wives and son were detained, along with the confiscation of 226.2 kg of cannabis from their homes in Badagry on September 18.

Additionally, in a separate incident in Lagos, law enforcement seized over 9.7 kg of cannabis sativa and 50 liters of “monkey tail,” a mixture of cannabis and dry gin, from a suspect named Florence Moses in the Badore area of Ajah, Lekki, on September 24.

In Kogi State, three individuals—Owolabi Dele, 42; Ayodele Monday, 40; and Olawale Ojo, 22—were arrested along the Okene-Lokoja-Abuja expressway while transporting 132 sacks of cannabis, totaling 2,062 kg, in a Mercedes container truck on its way from Osun to Dei Dei in Abuja.
