The National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency on Sunday said its operatives have arrested a wanted Baron Kazeem Afolabi popularly called Adekaz.
The agency had two weeks ago declared the Lagos socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels wanted over allegations bordering on drugs trafficking and money laundering.
His problem began after the arrest of one Afolabi’s agents called Bolujoko.
He was said to have been arrested on Thursday and taken into custody where is currently being interrogated.
According to a statement by NDLEA, hislid was blown open after the arrest of one of his mules, Bolujoko Muyiwa Babalola, a Lagos BRT driver on 27th June at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, when he named Alhaji Ademola Kazeem, alias Adekaz as the owner of the 900grams of cocaine he ingested.
