Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, after weeks of intelligence-led operations across the country and outside Nigeria, have taken into custody two wanted heads of a criminal organization with multi-million-naira worth of illicit drugs and assets seized from them.
The arrest of the drug lords Okafor Ikechukwu Williams aka Jantu and his wife, Okafor Ifeyinwa Grace on the 5th of October, came about after NDLEA operatives raided their hideout at 9, Awa Street, Ago Palace, Okota where they recovered 27.566 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in a blue box and two sacks, to be exported to Europe and Asia.
Their Lexus RX350 marked ABJ 512 AY parked in the house was also seized during the operation. Their arrest followed weeks of intelligence gathering about the activities of the criminal network.
