The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a businessman identified as Ajah Johnson Uchenna, his wife Rosemary Uchenna, and their two daughters, Stella Uchenna and Ngozi Uchenna, for drug trafficking.
Also nabbed is their family friend, Okoro Elijah, for allegedly running a major illicit drug distribution network in Lagos.
NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, saying the arrest followed a series of operations by security agencies.
The couple was first apprehended on June 13 by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Ojo, Lagos, and transferred to the NDLEA along with 277.5kg of skunk.
Babafemi noted that further investigation revealed the family business was still operational, leading to a raid on their home and a packing store on July 1, where an additional 231 kg of skunk was recovered.
