NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, disclosed the development in a statement on Sunday.

According to Babafemi, 60 suspects comprising 25 males and 35 females were arrested at an apartment in Sun City estate.

At least six of the suspects: Victoria Adoga; Hamza Yari; Joanne Essein Joy; Socchima Valentine; Jago Imole; and Charles Indobuibisi, were said to have been arrested with different quantities of ecstasy and cannabis.

“The Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) has directed that 20 of the suspects who tested negative to drug be released unconditionally, while 33 others who tested positive to illicit drugs were to be released on bail and will report at the FCT Command of the Agency on Monday to begin treatment and counselling,” Babafemi said.

Meanwhile, NDLEA officers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos have arrested two passengers travelling to Doha on a Qatar Airways flight at the screening point of terminal 2 after they tested positive to ingestion of illicit substances on Friday 21st June.

The suspects: Aikhomoun Daniel (alias Oladapo Olanrewaju) and Ayigoro Waheed Omobolaji were thereafter taken into observatory custody.

While Daniel excreted a total of 90 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.022kg in six excretions, Omobolaji discharged 60 wraps of the same Class A substance with a total weight of 662 grams in five egestion.
