Emami was arrested in Ikeja, Lagos on Saturday, 28th June 2025 after NDLEA operatives dismantled his drug trafficking network in a three-day operation leading to the arrest of three other suspects.

Recovered from Emami’s network were 24 jumbo bags containing 681 pouches of Canadian Loud, a strain of cannabis weighing 414.2 kilograms.

The bust of Emami’s drug ring followed credible intelligence on his attempt to move the shipment to Lekki area of Lagos, from where it will be distributed to other parts of the state and across the country.

Also delivering judgment in a case of illegal drug trafficking filed by the NDLEA against Solomon Akpomuai, Justice Dipeolu sentenced him to four years in prison with an option of N50 million fine.

Akpomuai was arraigned in a suit number FHC/L/635C.

Recall that Solomon Akpomuai was first arrested by men of Customs Service along Shagamu-Ijebu-Ode expressway with 2,197.8 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis on 3rd June 2025 and transferred to NDLEA on 16th June, 2025.

He was subsequently arraigned in charge number FHC/L/635C before Justice Dipeolu for trafficking illicit drugs in large commercial quantity.

In his reaction, the
Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa described the conviction of the two drug kingpins as an indication that Nigeria will sooner than later surmount the menace of substance abuse and illicit drug trafficking.

Marwa said his optimism is based on positive outcomes of the current balanced approach to the Agency’s drug supply reduction and drug demand reduction efforts.

He commended the judiciary, NDLEA officers involved in the investigation and prosecution of the cases as well as other stakeholders for their commitment to the cause of a drug free country.
