NDLEA declares suspected Lagos drug baron wanted

Wanted drug baron Wanted drug baron

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared a Lagos socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels, Alhaji Ademola Afolabi Kazeem (a.k.a Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammed) wanted over offences bordering on exportation and trafficking of illicit drugs as well as money laundering.

Director, Media and Advocacy NDLEA Headquarters, Abuja, Femi Babafemi, said this in a statement on Tuesday.

Babafemi said the decision to declare the suspect wanted followed his failure to honour NDLEA invitations and an order granted the agency by a Federal High Court in Lagos on October 17, 2022.

He said: “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.

“Soon after the arrest of one of his mules, Bolujoko Muyiwa Babalola, a Lagos BRT driver on 27th June at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, Alhaji Ademola Kazeem who is also the Chairman of Adekaz Global Integrated Services, went underground.
