    NDLEA Arrests Lekki businessman over illicit cargo from US

    Cyril Chidiebere, a Lekki Lagos-based businessman, was on Friday 14th April, arrested along with two of his freight agents: Mejabi Peter Sunday and Oyeyinka Babatunde over their involvement in the importation of twelve (12) parcels of Loud, a strain of cannabis, weighing 6.50kg, which was part of a consolidated cargo brought in from the United States of America.

    A statement released by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said the arrest and seizure followed a three-day intelligence-led operation.

    ‘’Following the arrival of the cargo at the NAHCO import shed of the MMIA, its movement out of the airport was closely monitored in a sting operation until the actual importer, Cyril Chidiebere, was arrested in his house at Abraham Adesanya estate, Ajah, Lekki area of Lagos.

    “Both Mejabi and Chidiebere have made useful statements to confirm that the latter has been involved in dealing on illicit drugs in the past.” the commission said
