CrimeWanted Drug Kingpin Arrested 12 Years After Killing Three NDLEA Officers by iwaeda(op): 12:21pm On Jan 18
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a long-wanted drug kingpin, Lekan Jimoh, also known as “Kanmo-Kanmo,” 12 years after his alleged involvement in the killing of three NDLEA officers.

Jimoh was arrested on Friday, January 16, 2026, in Owode town, Ogun State, following intelligence-led operations by tactical teams of the agency.

A search of his hideout led to the recovery of 69 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis.

A statement released on Sunday by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the suspect has been on the NDLEA wanted list since June 15, 2014, when he allegedly mobilised armed thugs to attack NDLEA officers who attempted to arrest him at his enclave.

Did you know that one of the most mind-blowing cities on earth is in China?0:00 / 0:00

He said, “Following his involvement in the brutal killing of three NDLEA officers, Kanmo-Kanmo, who is notorious for drug trafficking, evading arrest and mobilising armed thugs against security agents, was on Friday, 16th January 202,6 tracked to his hideout in Owode town, Ogun State by tactical teams of the agency following credible intelligence. During the clinical operation, the suspect was found in possession of 69 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis.

“The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the agency’s commitment to ensuring that no fugitive, regardless of how long they evade justice, remains beyond the reach of the law.

“​Lekan Jimoh’s criminal history is marked by extreme violence and lawlessness. As a result, he had on 15th June 2014 orchestrated a barbaric mob action against a team of NDLEA officers who had attempted to arrest him at his enclave. The attack resulted in the cold-blooded murder of three NDLEA officers, including Rabiu Usman Kazaure and two others, who were killed by armed thugs mobilised by Jimoh. While the suspect managed to escape the scene that day, the agency remained resolute in its pursuit of justice for the fallen heroes.”

In a related operation on August 12, 2023, NDLEA operatives raided Jimoh’s residence in Ado-Odo, Ogun State, where 139 sacks of skunk weighing 1,922 kilograms were recovered.

The suspect again evaded arrest at the time. The property, which was used as a drug warehouse, was later forfeited to the Federal Government following court proceedings.

In a separate operation, Babafemi said NDLEA operatives in Edo State on Tuesday, January 13, raided Arokpa forest in Uzebba town, Owan West Local Government Area, arresting a 53-year-old suspect, Isihor Edika, and seizing 320 kilograms of skunk and cannabis seeds.

In Abuja, Babafemi said a 44-year-old woman, Yinka Agboola, at Kaura District, over the alleged online sale of illicit drugs was arrested.

He said items recovered from her residence included 2.2 kilograms of skunk and quantities of cannabis oil.

“In the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, operatives on Friday, 16th January, tracked and arrested a 44-year-old lady, Yinka Agboola, following intelligence on her online sale of illicit substances.


“At the time of her arrest, 2.2kg of skunk and litres of cannabis oil, which she produces in her kitchen and sells through online advertisement, were recovered from her home at the Kaura district, Abuja. Another suspect, Tordue Pius Richard, 30, was on Tuesday, 13th January arrested with 148.3 grams of cocaine and skunk at his 12 Biskira Street, Abacha Estate, Abuja home.”

In Lagos, he said NDLEA officers seized 118.1 kilograms of skunk from Dauda Kareem and Saheed Obisesan at Fadeyi, Mushin, on Friday, January 16.

On the same day, 116 kilograms of skunk were recovered from a warehouse at New Market area of Enugu, Enugu State.

Along the Onitsha–Asaba Expressway in Delta State, Babafemi said two suspects, Zaharadeen Yahaya, 25, and Sanusi Maman, 23, were arrested on Thursday, January 15, while transporting 410,800 pills of tramadol, 84.2 litres of codeine syrup, 82,250 tablets of diazepam, 900 tablets of swinol and 65 pills of Molly.

“Oyo state, Adetunji Ahmed Abayomi, 33, was nabbed on Thursday 15th January at Moniya, Ibadan, with 321 litres of skuchies, and 2.5kg Colorado, a synthetic strain of cannabis, while Rasheed Ajao, 28, was caught same day at Odo-Ona, Ibadan, in possession of 5.4kg Scottish Loud; 1.696kg skunk and 2.5kg Colorado, bringing the total weight to 9.696 kilograms. In another raid at Agbeni area of the state capital, 52,430 pills of tramadol and bromazepam were recovered from the store of Orji Edwin, currently at large, on Saturday, 17th January, ” the statement added.

In Kwara State, he said NDLEA officers on Tuesday, January 13, raided a residence at the Gamo area of Ilorin, where 42 bags of skunk weighing 387.40 kilograms were seized.

In Jigawa State, Babafemi said an ex-convict, Gaddafi Ammani, 26, and his accomplice, Ahmed Sani, 32, were arrested on Saturday, January 17, at Nassarawa GRA, Ringim Local Government Area, with quantities of skunk and exol-5 pills.

He added that Ammani attempted to escape during the operation and injured an officer.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), commended officers across Ogun, Lagos, Apapa, Edo, Delta, Oyo, the FCT, Enugu and Kwara states for the arrests and seizures and urged them to sustain ongoing drug control efforts.

He described the arrest of Kanmo-kanmo as a triumph of justice and a testament to the Agency’s long memory, adding that the arrest sends a clear and unambiguous message to all drug barons and fugitives.

“You may run, and you may hide for a season, but the long arm of the law will eventually find you.
​“The arrest of Lekan Jimoh is particularly significant because it closes a painful chapter that began on June 15, 2014. For twelve years, this individual lived with the blood of our gallant officers—Rabiu Usman Kazaure and two others—on his hands. He mistakenly thought that time had erased his crimes,” he added.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has continued to intensify nationwide operations against drug trafficking networks, with a focus on apprehending long-wanted suspects and disrupting supply chains. Lekan Jimoh, also known as “Kanmo-Kanmo,” had been on the agency’s wanted list since 2014 following the killing of three NDLEA officers during an attempted arrest in Ogun State.

His arrest comes amid a series of coordinated raids across several states, reflecting the agency’s renewed push to tackle illicit drug production, distribution and trafficking, and to bring fugitives linked to past attacks on law enforcement to justice.

Gunmen have reportedly killed a police officer and kidnapped a Chinese expatriate principal at Aqua Triton Company in the Ogunmakin Area of Ibadan, Oyo State.

The statement read, “There was an attack at Aqua Triton Company in Ogunmakin, near Ibadan, Oyo State, where yet to be identified gunmen stormed the facility in a commando-style operation.

One police officer tragically died while repelling the attack, injuring some of the assailants, and the Chinese expatriate principal was abducted.

“Immediately informed, the state Commissioner of Police, Femi Haruna, directed the AC Operations to lead the Anti-Kidnapping Squad and tactical teams to the scene.

“A bush-combing operation is ongoing, and a full investigation has been launched to ensure the safe rescue of the victim and the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.”

PoliticsBandits Kill Seven Persons, Abduct Others In Sokoto As IED Explosion Injures 5 by iwaeda(op): 6:29pm On Jan 16
The village, located near the Niger Republic border, is said to be remote and without mobile phone network coverage the report noted.


At least seven people were reported killed and three others abducted in a bandit attack on a border community in Sokoto State, while a separate suspected improvised explosive device (IED) explosion left five persons seriously injured in neighbouring Zamfara State on Thursday.

In Sokoto, according to a report by Zagazola Makama, a security intelligence expert, bandits stormed Kyara village in Sabon Birni Local Government Area in the early hours of the day, killing seven residents and kidnapping three others.

The village, located near the Niger Republic border, is said to be remote and without mobile phone network coverage the report noted.

Sources said the attackers, who were reportedly in large numbers and armed with sophisticated weapons, invaded the community at about 4am, firing sporadically and causing panic among residents.

"Seven villagers were shot dead during the raid, while two others sustained gunshot injuries. An unspecified number of livestock were also rustled by the attackers," a source said.

Following the incident, "joint security forces were deployed to the area, where they evacuated the bodies of the deceased and the injured victims to a hospital for autopsy and medical treatment," another source said.

Meanwhile, troops of the Nigerian military have since launched a manhunt for the assailants with the aim of rescuing the abducted villagers, recovering the stolen livestock and apprehending those responsible.

The report noted that security patrols are also ongoing in and around Kyara village to reassure residents and prevent further attacks.

Meanwhile, in Zamfara State, five people sustained serious injuries after a suspected IED detonated along the Takalafiya–Gadar Zaima Road in Bukkuyum Local Government Area.

The explosion occurred at about 11:30am when a motorcycle conveying five passengers reportedly ran over an explosive device believed to have been planted by bandits targeting security patrols in the area.

The device exploded on contact, damaging the motorcycle and leaving all five occupants critically injured.

"Security operatives immediately cordoned off the road, restricting movement and advising residents to stay away from the area pending a comprehensive safety assessment," another source said.

The injured victims were evacuated to the General Hospital in Gummi, where they are currently receiving treatment.

As of the time of filing this report, movement along the Takalafiya–Gadar Zaima axis remains restricted as security agencies continue clearance operations to rule out the presence of additional explosive devices.

The twin incidents underscore growing security concerns in parts of north-west Nigeria, where banditry, kidnappings and the use of explosive devices have continued to threaten lives and livelihoods.
