The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has declared wanted a Port Harcourt, Rivers State,-based popular prophetess and founder of Christ Power Adoration Ministries, Faith Ugochi, and an Instagram celebrity couple, Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen.
They are wanted for allegedly recruiting teenage girls into drug trafficking while they serve as the arrowheads of an international syndicate operating from Los Angeles, USA. The spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, April 2, 2023, said the lid was blown off the cartel when NDLEA operatives at the NAHCO import shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja Lagos, intercepted a consignment of 32.70 kilograms of Loud, a strong variant of cannabis concealed in cartons of used clothing, on November 16, 2022.
A freight agent, Ukoh Ifeanyi Oguguo, was immediately arrested, while further investigations led to the arrest of four more suspects: Chikodi Favour; Obiyom Shalom Chiamaka; Nnochiri Chidinma Promise; and Edward Omatseye (aka Montana).
The 15-year-old Favour was the first salesgirl to be arrested at a fuel station in the Ajah area of Lagos. She thereafter led the operatives to a duplex accommodation around the Ikate area of Lekki, which was later discovered to be a rented apartment by the criminal group specifically for four young girls that the syndicate uses for marketing and distribution of illicit drugs.
Another girl, Shalom, who is a fresh graduate of Agricultural Science from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, was picked from the house alongside Favour.
During their preliminary interviews, it was learned that the syndicate rented another building used as a drug warehouse inside Richmond Estate, Lekki.
When the agents found the house, they found that other members of the gang had broken into the store and taken bags of illegal drugs.
