NDLEA Kebbi

A notorious queen of drug cartel supplying psychoactive substances to traffickers in Taraba state, Lami Mai Rigima has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA months after being on their wanted list.

The 40-year-old queen of the drug world came under the anti-narcotic agency’s searchlight when a number of traffickers arrested in the state in 2021 and early this year fingered her as their supplier. The manhunt for Lami paid off on Monday 4th April when operatives tracked her to her hideout in Iware village in Ardo Kola local government area of Taraba.

The search for Lami began in October 2021 following the arrest, prosecution and conviction of a drug dealer, Abdullahi Madaki, 50. After serving his brief jail sentence, Madaki returned to the illicit trade with Lami still as his supplier. He was however rearrested on 13th February 2022 while another trafficker, Jamilu Hassan, 20, who is also a member of Lami’s supply chain, was nabbed on 24th Feb.

In Adamawa, operatives arrested a cross border drug trafficker, Emeka Okiru, 40, with 32,700 tablets of Tramadol 225mg under the brand name: Royal and Tramaking. He was arrested at Garden city, Mubi, Mubi North LGA on Tuesday 5th April while preparing to supply his customers who came from Republic of Cameroon. The drugs were found concealed in cartons of paintbrush.

In Oyo state, different quantities of Cocaine, amphetamine and cannabis were recovered from four suspects: Adetola Tosin; Akeem Kazeem; Korede Ahmed, and Abdulgafar Nureni who were arrested in Omi-Adio, Ido LGA; Oje area of Ibadan North LGA; Iwo Road, Ibadan North East LGA, and Sabo, Mokola, Ibadan North West LGA, when operatives raided parts of the state on Tuesday 5th April.

At least, 172 kilograms of cannabis was recovered from two suspects: Zaidu Mohammed Kamba and Hussaini Dauda in Kamba area of Kebbi state on Monday 4th April by NDLEA operatives.

While commending the officers and men of the Taraba, Adamawa, Kebbi and Oyo state Commands of the Agency for their efforts, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) charged them and their compatriots in other commands across the country to sustain the tempo of offensive action against the drug cartels in every part of Nigeria.

  71. Selling a boat requires proper preparation to attract buyers. Cleaning, servicing, and taking high-quality photos can make a big difference. Listing the boat with a detailed description and highlighting key features helps it stand out. Pricing it competitively based on market value ensures a faster sale. Transparency about the boat’s condition builds trust with buyers. A well-presented boat sells quickly and at a good price.

  72. Sailboats offer a completely different experience, relying on wind power rather than engines. Sailing requires skill and patience, but it provides a peaceful and rewarding way to explore the water. Some people sail for leisure, while others take long voyages across oceans. Sailboats range from small, single-person dinghies to massive yachts equipped with advanced navigation systems. Learning how to handle sails, read the wind, and navigate properly is essential for safe sailing. Many sailing enthusiasts say there’s nothing quite like the feeling of harnessing the wind to glide across the water.
