NDLEA arrests prominent Nollywood filmmaker, another drug kingpin in major busts
Nollywood drug busts as well as the arrest of a prominent filmmaker are a few of the major wins for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency as they continue their impressive track record against drug trafficking.
Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy, provided these comments on Sunday, January 5, 2025 at the agency headquarters in Abuja.
According to the briefing, operatives from NDLEA arrested Emeka Emmanuel Mbadiwe — a US trained Nollywood filmmaker — in his hotel room in Lekki, Lagos during a drug bust operation. This arrest came after Uzoekwe Ugochukwu James was detained at the Ajao Estate warehouse. He was in the midst of receiving a shipment of over 17 kilograms of cannabis that had been imported from the US.
On January 1 of 2025, the agency arrested 61-year-old Alhaja Aishat Feyisara Ajoke Elediye — a Mushin based drug kingpin, in her mansion in Okota.
The NDLEA had earlier siezed a truck that had over 1540 kilograms of cannabis and believed it had a link to Iya Ruka, who had over a million $ worth of cannabis in her possession.
In the words of Babafemi, Iya Ruka allegedly conducted a vast illicit drug empire at the same time that she was skillfully marketing herself as a prosperous entrepreneur involved in fabric and shoe sales.
