‘’His arrest followed the seizure of his cargo that arrived Nigeria in seven big cartons at a logistics company in Lagos on 12th March by NDLEA operatives of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigation.

After his arrest, he was taken to his Lekki home for a search during which 94grams of the same psychoactive substance, cannabis crusher and other drug paraphernalia were recovered. This brings the total weight of the drug seized from him to 32.24 kilograms.''

    Yoruba and drugs. All the tribalistic Yoruba idiots that have hijacked this blog, it's time to talk about Yorobas and their illicit money making ways. From skull mining, to human parts trafficking to drug lords. Yoruba, stop disgracing Nigeria everywhere you go. I'm not Igbo, but watch oronu pigs attack Igbos for this truth.
