Updated: NDLEA declares four Lagos drug traffickers wanted 

Four notorious drug peddlers based in Lagos are on the wanted list of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The NDLEA says the wanted suspects are associates of Lagos drug kingpin, Alhaji Suleiman Aremu Ganiu, also known as Barryshine (Ejeoto).

They are said to be wanted for their involvement in multiple drug trafficking operations.

Barryshine, who is already facing criminal charges at the Federal High Court in Lagos, is believed to have operated a sophisticated drug network in the region.

According to the NDLEA, Hon. Justice Akintayo Aluko of the Federal High Court, Lagos, issued the court order to declare the suspects wanted on January 28, 2025.

The agency has called on members of the public to provide any useful information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects.

The court ordered that public notices with photographs of the suspects be conspicuously displayed, as they are currently at large. The NDLEA sought the following declarations:

Olarenwaju Ramon Abdulai (aka Alhaji Loyingbo): Declared wanted for involvement in multiple drug trafficking activities with Barryshine.

Oluwafemi Akande Abidoye (aka Igbono, Baba Eje, Femi Iwaya): Declared wanted for his role in drug trafficking activities linked to Barryshine.

Olumuyiwa Olufemi Ilori (aka Murphy): Declared wanted for multiple drug trafficking offenses.

Alate Kafy Bakare Bukki of Kaffy Travels: Declared wanted for involvement in drug-related activities with Barryshine.

Barryshine, the Managing Director/CEO of Barryshine Suleiman Nigeria Ltd, was arrested on August 26, 2024, after two years on the NDLEA’s watchlist. He became a target due to his alleged role in four failed attempts to export cocaine to Saudi Arabia and Qatar via Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, between 2022 and 2024.

While many of his drug mules have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted, Barryshine is currently facing multiple criminal charges in court.

The NDLEA urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of the four wanted suspects to contact the nearest NDLEA Command, call the toll-free helpline (080010203040), or reach out through their social media platforms: Instagram, X, TikTok: @ndlea_nigeria. Facebook: @ndlea01. YouTube: @ndleatv

The agency emphasized its commitment to dismantling drug cartels and protecting the nation’s integrity.
