NDLEA Busts International Dr¥g Syndicate at Lagos Airport, Seizes 51kg of Lo¥d and Cash in Lekki Raid

Two British nationals: Mhizha Jordan Alexander Tatendra and Ayedipe Andrew Adejuwon as well as two Nigerians identified as Shonowo Oluwaseun Imole and Ofuoma Omokaro Ayobami have been arrested by NDLEA operatives for attempting to smuggle into Nigeria 92 bags of Lo¥d, a strong strain of c@nnabis weighing 51.10kg through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos.

This was revealed in a signed statement by the agency’s Director, Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi on Sunday, May 25, 2025.

Alexander was intercepted with the consignment upon his arrival at the MMIA on a Qatar Airline flight from Doha based on processed intelligence on Thursday 15th May.

He was allowed to through the security control unhindered and closely monitored by NDLEA operatives to the car park, where the owner of the cargo, Ayedipe Andrew Adejuwon, who is a Nigerian British, was waiting in an SUV along with his relation Shonowo Oluwaseun Imole and the driver of the vehicle, Ofuoma Omokaro Ayobami, to receive the courier.

The NDLEA operatives tracking them however swooped on them as they attempted to drive out of the airport car park, arresting them with the dr¥g exhibits in the vehicle.

In his statement, Alexander confessed he was recruited during his vacation weeks ago while he was promised 1,300 British Pounds after a successful delivery of the consignment in Lagos.

The arrowhead of the syndicate, Ayedipe Andrew Adejuwon, confessed that he arrived in Nigeria a day earlier from South Africa through Ghana.

A follow-up operation at their apartment in Lekki led to more discoveries. At the point of his arrest, N93,000 and 17,200 South African Rand were recovered from him while a search of his Lekki apartment, led to the seizure of Three Million Eight Hundred and Ten Thousand Five Hundred Naira (N3,810,500) cash, an Apple laptop, an iPhone 14 Pro Max and four laughing gas (Nitro Oxide) canisters.

If you think you can't make it except doing illegal work, you'll one day pay the price and all what you laboured for will come down in your presence.

There's nothing wrong with marijuana. I don't see it as a hard drug. It should rather be legalized for recreational purpose. NDLEA should be more worried about cocaine, heroine, meth, colos and other dangerous drugs out there.

Lol. An average Nigerian wants to circumvent required legal process, esp. today's youths.

We want to arrive there suddenly!

If it's not yahoo for guys, its hook-up for ladies, office or govt looting for elders, drugs traffics is for the bold minds. So, the chain continues.

But we all want Nigeria to be repaired one day, especially by one single leader.
