Convicted Drug Baron Forfeits VGC Mansion, Jeep To FG – NDLEA
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A convicted drug baron, Okenwa Chris Nzewi, has forfeited his multi-million-naira mansion located at K-5A/2 Road 14, Victoria Garden City (VGC) Estate, Lekki, Lagos, to the Federal Government.

This followed his  successful prosecution by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA and subsequent conviction by a Lagos Federal high court.

The mansion was used as clandestine laboratory for the production of methamphetamine by Okenwa Chris Nzewi.

Spokesman of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi , confirmed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

He said : “Okenwa Chris Nzewi was arrested along with his associate, Sunny Okeh Ukah on 30th July 2022 and subsequently arraigned on four-count charge in suit number FHC/L/527C/2022 at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

“They both pleaded guilty on 17th July, 2023, while they were convicted and sentenced to four and three years imprisonment each with an option of fine of four million (N4,000,000) naira and three million (N3,000,000) naira respectively in addition to community service for four and three weeks each.

“His vehicle marked EKY 496 DJ was equally forfeited to the Federal Government.

“To further deny him of enjoying the proceeds of his criminal activity, the NDLEA filed a civil forfeiture charge against the building used as clandestine laboratory at the Federal High Court Lagos which initially granted an interim forfeiture order that elapsed on 6th December before the final forfeiture on 7th December 2023.”
