After a Warri kinsman was arrested for allegedly importing 414.2 kg of cannabis sativa, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s (NDLEA) efforts to stop illegal drug transactions were further bolstered.
According to reports, the material has a street value of more over N200 million.
The suspect, identified as Emami Ajetsibogho, was taken into custody by agency agents affiliated with the Lagos State Command, according to information our correspondent obtained.
According to reports, Ajetsibogho, the alleged younger brother of a prominent Itsekiri leader, was caught in Lagos on June 25, 2025, with the drug hidden in multiple bags and sealed in satchets of black and white nylon.
The suspect was born in Warri South, Delta State, and is reputed to be quite powerful because he has reportedly eluded numerous arrest attempts.

A former Deputy Governor and APC guber candidate has made desperate attempts to undermine NDLEA authorities in an attempt to cover up the incident and clear the suspect, but his efforts have failed, according to reliable information obtained by our correspondent.
Mallum Abdullahi, a spokesman for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s (NDLEA) Lagos State Command, said he was not in Lagos and could not confirm or deny the allegation when reached.
Meanwhile, a civil society organization called Concerned Citizens for Justice and Accountability has urged Delta residents, security agencies, and other well-meaning Nigerians to take a serious interest in the issue and demand a prompt, open inquiry.
The culture of impunity must end immediately, according to a statement made by Casey Wealth, president of the group situated in Warri Delta State, which urged that the public should be informed about the situation.
We urge Delta residents, security services, and all well-meaning Nigerians to take a serious interest in this issue and demand a prompt, open investigation. The public has a right to know the truth. We must eradicate the culture of impunity.
For the length of time will we remain silent as drug lords disguised as politicians ruin our youth and transform our neighborhoods into chaotic theaters? Make this your rallying cry. Delta State is not a haven for drug-sponsored chaos, and Nigeria is not for sale,” the declaration says.
