Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a notorious drug kingpin, Ajetsibo Emami, popularly known as ‘Warri Kinsman’.

Emami was arrested on Saturday in Ikeja, Lagos, after the NDLEA operatives dismantled his drug trafficking network in a three-day operation, leading to the arrest of three other suspects.

The agency recovered 24 jumbo bags containing 681 pouches of Canadian Loud, a strain of cannabis weighing 414.2 kilogrammes from Emami’s network.

The bust of Emami’s drug ring followed credible intelligence on his attempt to move the shipment to the Lekki area of Lagos, from where it will be distributed to other parts of the state and across the country.

The operatives also intercepted cocaine consignments concealed in lipsticks and property title documents going to the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

The illicit drug consignments were recovered from cargoes being prepared for shipment at a courier company in Lagos on Thursday, 3rd July, 2025, by NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigation (DOGI) attached to the logistics firm.

NDLEA’s spokesperson Femi Babafemi said a total of 420 grammes of cocaine factory fitted in 84 pieces of female lipsticks heading to the UK were seized, while 280grammes of the same Class A drug were uncovered in a property title document (Certificate of Occupancy, C of O) being sent to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, a businessman, Ajah Johnson Uchenna and his wife, Rosemary Uchenna, along with their two daughters, Stella Uchenna and Ngozi Uchenna, as well as their family friend, Okoro Elijah, have been taken into custody after an investigation revealed they run a major illicit drug distribution network in Lagos.

Babafemi said, “The couple was first arrested on Friday, June 13, by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) in the Ojo area of the state and transferred to NDLEA along with 277.5kg skunk.

“While they were still being investigated in custody, credible intelligence revealed that the family business was going on in his house. This led to a raid on their home and a packing store where 231kg of the same substance was recovered on Tuesday, 1st July. Three people were arrested during the raid: their two daughters, Ngozi and Blessing, and their family friend, Okoro, who was running the family business in the absence of the couple.

Also, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, 2nd July, intercepted a frequent flyer, Aburemi Hysent, who specialises in conveying goods for customers from Nigeria to Italy and vice versa. He was found to have hidden 7,660 pills of tramadol 225mg and 200mg inside food items packed among other goods he was conveying to Italy. He claimed he was to be paid 800 euros upon successful delivery of the drug consignment in Italy.
