The guy looks Jamo to me!!! I'm sure he would have been helped to escape to Nigeria by his naija collabos. If d guy na naija, dem for no catch am like that. Naija guy no go run come still stay for Lagos where NDLEA activities are well on ground. I suspect his not being able to speak Yoruba at point of suspicion must have led NDLEA to dig deeper to now find that he is originally "Kindrek Dion Lee". 1 Like |

There is something really suspect about this story! The NDLEA is a corruption ridden entity that can't catch a mouse without tips (and without demanding bribes). The stupid man must have continued pushing drugs via couriers in Lagos or his naija partners ratted him out so they can steal his money/product. |

That boy obviously looks like a UK born Nigerian! And that may actually be his real name! Who knows? Good he has been caught, hopefully wish he doesnt have connections in high places, else he'll go free pretty soon! |

| Re: UK's Most Wanted Drug Suspect Arrested In Lagos by Nobody: 8:15am On Sep 20, 2011 |
moremi2008: This seems the most likely scenario to me. Some kingpin in Isale eko or Festac town would soon make a killing as a result. NDLEA may have even been bribed a huge sum to arrest this guy. Naija. Btw, why the whole furore about whether or not he is Nigerian? If he isn't, then why is it clearly indicated in the NDLEA statement that he is from Ikorodu? Na wah for some of una sef. His dreadlocks, or funny sounding name or inability to speak Yoruba mean nothing. Perhaps he relocated to the UK in his childhood, or maybe he was even born there. |

ITS ALSO ON RECORD THE YOYOBAS WERE THE FIRST GROUP OF NIGERIANS TO MIGRATE TO UK WHERE THEY STARTED THEIR 419 SCAMS. IGBOS AND OTHER NIGERIAN TRIBES JOINED ONLY RECENTLY. |

So many ignorant people in this thread. So because he "looks Jamaican" he can't be Nigerian. I have been treated the same way, too. So many people tell me that I don't look Nigerian, even though I was born and raised in Nigeria--a full blooded Yoruba boy. Girls do it a lot--a Naija girl once said that she did not speak to me at first because I don't look Nigerian. Na wa for our people oooooooo. How about his real name is "Olusegun Babajide," but the alias he used to conduct his drug business was "Kindreck Lion Lee," which sounds like a made up name to me. It sounds Asian. Because someone does not look like a prototypical Nigerian does not exclude that person from being a Nigerian. Do you want him to have tribal marks or look like Terry G before you would believe he is a Nigerian? |

Ricky_Ross: Some people admit the existence of a fact in their attempt to deny the existence of that fact. I hope you make your living being a house boy, because that is the only thing you can do. |
