After many years of evading arrest, the NDLEA has taken into custody the overall head of the Mushin, Lagos drug cartel, Sulaiman Jimoh , alias Olowoidiogede, popularly known as Temo.
The 57-year-old was arrested in his enclave after an initial resistance from him and his gang.
A statement by spokesman for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi said, ‘in the last two years, the NDLEA had intercepted large consignments of illicit drugs worth billions of naira owned by Temo but he had remained largely evasive while a few encounters with him and his armed gangs in his Mushin enclave had resulted in gunfight.’
Some of the recent seizures of his shipments include: a 14, 524.8 kilograms of Ghana Loud, a strong strain of cannabis sativa, smuggled into Lagos from Ghana in two trucks and a J5 bus intercepted at Ojuelegba area of Lagos in the early hours of Sunday 28th January 2024.
