NDLEA arrests wanted drug barons, two others who ingested 175 wraps of illicit drugs

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has detained two wanted drug barons with multi-billion-naira worth of illicit drugs and assets seized from them.

The duo – Hakeem Salami and Ikechukwu Okafor – were taken into custody after weeks of intelligence-led operations within and outside Nigeria.

The NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, confirmed the development in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
