Popular rap artiste, CDQ, has been granted bail by the
Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, though he remains under investigation.
On Wednesday night, men of the NDLEA arrested Sodiq Yusuf,
popularly known as CDQ, in his Lekki residence.
He was said to have been picked up by the anti-drug enforcement
agency for allegedly violating the drug law following an intelligence report
which the agency caught wind of.
However, in a chat with PUNCH, NDLEA’s
Director, Media, and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, confirmed his arrest, saying the
case was still being investigated as some substance known as ‘loud’ ― a
cannabis variant ― was found in the rapper’s house.
Babafemi said, “Yes, CDQ was arrested in his house at Lekki for being in possession of cannabis. He was arrested based on intelligence. As of last night, he was granted administrative bail, but he is expected back into custody today because it is an ongoing investigation.
“Some substances were found and he mentioned some names of
some other big artistes. So, it is an ongoing investigation.”
Babafemi further noted that CDQ cooperated as he mentioned
names of other big artistes who used the substance. The spokesman siad that the outcome of the investigation would determine if the rapper would
be charged to court or counselled by the agency.
He said, “The outcome of the investigation would determine
what would happen. There are cases whereby the investigation shows some
sufficient infractions, and then the case will go to court. There are other
cases whereby if the quantity is insignificant, we will bring him in for
counselling and possible rehabilitation. Those are likely scenarios that will
happen.”
When The PUNCH reached out to the rapper via the telephone,
his number was switched off. However, CDQ reacted via an Instagram post,
hinting that someone was trying to set him up.
He wrote, “No sleep for the wicked. Iyalaya yin o ni sun for
dis Lagos… They tryna set me up today but Olohun wa.”(sic)
