The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested Prophet Adefolusho Olasele, founder of The Turn of Mercy Church in Lagos, for allegedly masterminding multiple cannabis shipments from Ghana to Nigeria.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi said Olasele, also known as Abbas Ajakaiye, was caught on August 3 after months on the run.
He is linked to two seizures 200kg recovered at Okun Ajah Beach in June and 700kg from his delivery van in July. NDLEA also made other major drug busts last week in Lagos, Nasarawa, Kano, Gombe, and Edo, seizing thousands of pills and large quantities of cannabis.
Chairman Buba Marwa commended officers for their efforts in the ongoing War Against Drug Abuse.
