NDLEA busts Osun illicit drug party tagged ‘Unholy Alliance’, arrests organisers
The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) raided a lounge in Osogbo on Saturday, where a weird party organised for illicit substance abuse was to be held.
The operatives arrested some of the organisers found with drug exhibits.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi stated on Sunday in Abuja that the raid followed a credible intelligence report that a night party tagged “Unholy Alliance for Stoners and Drunkards’’ was to be held at the lounge.
He stated that different types of illicit substances were to be sold and consumed by the revellers.
“Soon after the organisers began to gather at the Berrymist Lounge located at Ofatedo Area of Osogbo to start the party, NDLEA operatives swooped in on them.
“The operatives arrested the organisers and seized illicit substances and drug paraphernalia from them.
“Those arrested included Ikotu Omolayo (25), Fola Olabode (30) and Akorede Adunni Ajibola (22). The management of the lounge has been invited for an investigation.
“This comes on the heels of an earlier raid on Thursday, November 23, at Area 5 Forest Reserve, Ile-Ife, also in Osun, where operatives recovered 156kg of Indian hemp,’’ Mr Babafemi stated.
