FRIDAY OLOKOR
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a suspected drug baron, Chidi Olife, said to have escaped arrest for unlawful importation of 5.250kg of heroin from Pakistan to Lagos in 2010.
His arrest in Lagos by the Joint Task Force Operation Unit of the NDLEA came just as operatives of the agency in Adamawa State apprehended an illicit drug dealer, Rabiu Imam, on Friday with Tramadol tablets of 225mg, weighing 45.4kg and estimated at over N50m.
Imam was arrested in a house at Unguwan Madina, Mubi North Local Government area of the state.
A statement by the agency on Saturday said Olife was arrested “following vital intelligence on the drug source, flight details, date and place of arrival, weight and mode of concealment, name, phone number and address of the recipient of the consignment and a planned controlled delivery operation coordinated by the Commander NDLEA’s JTF, Adeniyi Olumuyiwa.”
