The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a former councilor at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area in Lagos State following credible intelligence linking him to illicit drug sales and trafficking.
The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Mr. Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Babafemi said the 45-year-old suspect, who currently serves as a legislative aide, was arrested on March 2, at his residence in Ilado, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
This, he said, was where a search was conducted and 40 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis, was recovered from one of his rooms.
“In his statement, the suspect admitted to ownership of the exhibit and the property where it was recovered.
“He said he had previously served two terms as a councilor representing Orimedu community in Ibeju-Lekki local government council,” the spokesman said.
