The individuals were found guilty of drug trafficking activities involving cocaine, cannabis, and tramadol.

Three of the convicts, Olasupo Michael Oladimeji, Muaezee Ademola Ogunbiyi, and Sola Adegoke, were apprehended after NDLEA operatives intercepted 17.9 kilograms of cocaine, hidden inside textile materials and local charms, which were destined for Sydney, Australia.

The bust occurred at the airport’s export shed on August 26, 2025.

Further investigation led to additional seizures of 20.5 kilograms of “Canadian Loud” were recovered from Ogunbiyi’s home in Lekki, while Adegoke’s residence in Ikeja GRA yielded a black Range Rover SUV, registered RBC 459 EJ.

On October 30, 2025, the three accused were arraigned before Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos under charge number FHC/L/925C/2025. They each pleaded guilty to five counts of drug trafficking.
