NDLEA operatives at the NAHCO import shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja Lagos, intercepted a consignment of 32.70 kilograms of Loud, a potent variant of cannabis concealed in cartons of used wear, on 16th November 2022.Further investigations led to the arrest of four more suspects; Chikodi Favour, Obiyom Shalom Chiamaka; Nnochiri Chidinma Promise and Edward Omatseye .
The NDLEA, however, said that several attempts to get Prophetess Faith Ugochi, Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen submit themselves for questioning have proved abortive.According to a statement signed by the NDLEA’s Director of Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, a letter of invitation sent to the Prophetess on 28th November 2022 was received and acknowledged by her mother, with whom she runs the church.
It further accused the celebrity couple of hurriedly moving all funds traced to their company Lasgidi Backwood Ltd where all proceeds from the sales of illicit drugs were deposited into a private account of one Victor Imagoro. She then led the operatives to a duplex accommodation around the Ikate area of Lekki, later discovered to be a rented apartment by the criminal group purposely for four young girls that the syndicate uses for marketing and distribution of illicit drugs.“Another girl, Shalom, a fresh graduate of Agricultural Science from Rivers State University of Science and Technology, was picked from the house alongside Favour,” it said.
A follow-up operation led to the arrest of Edward Omatseye at his residence around the Lekki area. Edward confessed during an interview to be working for Igho and his wife, Danielle, who are identified as the overall heads of the criminal group, the NDLEA revealed.
