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.

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.
