Operatives recovered four large bags containing 89.2 kilogrammes of potent cannabis known as ‘Canadian Loud’ and a 2024 model Toyota Hilux. During interrogation, Oladapo allegedly confessed to establishing his own operation after being paid hundreds of millions of naira for shipping illicit substances to an overseas associate.

In separate operations, the NDLEA arrested Rabi Muhammad at the Seme border attempting to cross into the Benin Republic with a fake baby bump filled with 3,200 tramadol capsules, and Ivorian Michael Gohouri at Kano Airport with 1.49kg of cocaine injected into his body.

Key Points:

The arrest of a high-profile real estate figure exposes drug trade infiltration into legitimate business circles.
Massive 89kg seizure disrupts supply of potent Canadian Loud in Lagos.
Communities face reduced drug availability, while suspect faces prosecution.
This signals NDLEA’s intensified crackdown on high-profile traffickers.
The timing, with multiple arrests, demonstrates the agency’s reach.
