A notorious drug kingpin who specializes in sponsoring young Nigerians to traffic Class A drugs to Europe especially Italy, has been arrested after operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, stormed his hotel room in Okota area of Lagos late on Friday July 21 when he was preparing a recruited courier to swallow 93 pellets of cocaine meant for distribution in Italy.

A statement released by NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, says the 48-year-old drug kingpin, Charles Uwagbale, had recruited Uju Dominic, 35, from his base in Italy with a deal to come to Nigeria, ingest 100 pellets of cocaine on Friday 21st July and return to Italy on Saturday 22nd July.

True to plan, upon the arrival in Nigeria, the mule was lodged in Golden Heaven Hotel located at Enoma street off Ago-Palace way, Okota, Isolo, Lagos where Uwagbale brought 93 wraps of the Class A drug for him to swallow at about 23:45pm Friday night.

They were in the process when NDLEA operatives who have been on their trail following credible intelligence stormed their hotel room, arrested both and recovered the drug exhibits with a total weight of 1.427 kilograms.'' Babafemi said

The NDLEA spokesperson added that operatives of the Lagos state Command of the Agency who made the arrest and seizure had on Thursday 20th July raided Akala in Mushin area of the state where they recovered 37.5kg cannabis from the home of a fleeing suspect.

His response his just laughable.

Peter Obi told Nigerians that he won the election and he will prove it with evidence in court. The court case is about to end and we’ve not seen a single evidence of how Peter Obi won the election conducted on February 25th 2023. He couldn’t even present to the court in his final address how he won the election. So, what’s the lie about retrieving a stolen mandate all about when he never won the election?

Obi’s petition has now been reduced to calling for the disqualification of the actual winner and then conducting another election between him and Atiku to determine the actual winner. He has completely abandoned any claim to victory.

Sadly for him, Tinubu will not be disqualified on any ground as there is absolutely no reason to disqualify him. The so called forfeiture is in relation to a civil matter that has no criminal conviction. The US government clearly stated in a letter tendered in court that Tinubu was never convicted and that’s the legal position of the forfeiture.

So, even in the unlikely event of the court ordering a second ballot on the basis of 25% in FCT, it will still be between Tinubu and Atiku. Of course, this will not happen as section 299 clearly stated that FCT should be treated like any other state in all matters.

This is an illustration. The HDI in the Southeast is much better than many states.
