NDLEA Captures Notorious Drug Dealer Temo After Lengthy Pursuit
On July 24, Femi Babafemi, spokesperson for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), announced the arrest of a notorious drug dealer, Temo, following an extensive two-year investigation.
Despite multiple seizures of massive drug shipments linked to Temo, he had remained elusive, often engaging in violent confrontations with NDLEA operatives in Mushin.
Recent significant drug busts associated with Temo include:
– 14,524.8 kilograms of “Ghana Loud,” a potent strain of cannabis, intercepted in Ojuelegba, Lagos, on January 28, 2024.
– Two truckloads totaling 8,852 kilograms of the same drug seized at Eleko Beach, Lekki, Lagos, on May 4, 2023.
– 252 kilograms of Loud recovered from Mushin on July 26, 2023.
Despite his efforts to evade capture, including frequent relocations and armed resistance, Temo was apprehended on July 22, 2024.
Surveillance teams tracked him to Igbarere Street, Mushin, where he attempted to escape in a Mercedes Benz SUV.
His attempt to distract and flee with the help of accomplices failed, leading to his arrest and the recovery of the vehicle.
Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), NDLEA Chairman, commended the efforts of the Lagos State Command and other units involved in the operation.
He highlighted the successful capture despite the challenging circumstances and warned other drug traffickers that their actions will not go unpunished, affirming the agency’s ongoing commitment to combating drug crime.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
