Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested one of two brothers who serve as major sources of illicit drug supplies in South East and South South parts of the country, Onyeaghalachi Stephen Nwagwugwu, after nine years of being on his trail.

Director, Media and Advocacy of NDLEA, Femi Babafemi disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.

The NDLEA spokesman said that the elder brother, Eze Kaleb Stephen, who is also wanted, narrowly escaped during the overnight operation carried out simultaneously in their two locations: Umuahia and Ntigha Okpuola community in Isiala Ngwa North LGA, Abia state.

“Investigations show the two notorious brothers began a career in the illicit drug business since the late 90s when they started as pocket dealers before they later established smoking joints/bunks in their community, Ntigha Okpuola and subsequently grew to become barons; owning hotels, houses in choice areas of Abia, Rivers and Imo State, with exotic cars in their homes,” the statement read in part.

The NDLEA spokesman said that the agency had been on their trail since 2013 when they organised a mob attack on some of its operatives who attempted to apprehend them during a raid.

“At least, one of the officers attacked then is still bedridden till date. The two drug lords equally own armed militia guarding their houses and drug stores, where they deal in assorted illicit substances like Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine (Mpuru-miri), Loud/Arizona and all sorts.
