The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says its
operatives have arrested Ademola Kazeem over alleged drug trafficking.
On November 1, the agency declared him wanted after he
reportedly failed to honour NDLEA’s invitation and a subsequent order from a
federal high court in Lagos.
In a statement on Sunday, Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson of
the agency, said Kazeem was arrested on November 10.
“Ten days after he was declared wanted, operatives of the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested fleeing Lagos
socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels, Alhaji Ademola Afolabi Kazeem (a.k.a
Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammed), over offences bordering on exportation and
trafficking of illicit drugs as well as money laundering,” the statement reads.
“The Agency had on
Tuesday 1st November declared the suspect wanted following his failure to
honour NDLEA invitations and an order granted by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
“The wanted drug kingpin was uncovered as the sponsor of
some traffickers arrested by the anti-narcotics agency in their recent attempt
to export cocaine to Dubai, UAE and other destinations outside Nigeria.
“The search for him however paid off on Thursday 10th Nov
when he was successfully taken into custody where he is currently being
interviewed.”
The agency also said its operatives arrested one Okefun
Chisom, a businesswoman, over her alleged link to drug trafficking.
“In a related development, NDLEA operatives also arrested a
businesswoman, Okefun Darlington Chisom, over her links with two Pakistanis:
Asif Muhammed, 45 and Hussain Naveed, 57, arrested at the Lagos airport with 8
kilograms of cocaine concealed in a sound system while attempting to board a
Qatar Airways flight to Lahole, Pakistan via Doha on Saturday 5th Nov,” the
statement reads.
