On Saturday, November 25, agents of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, or NDLEA, raided a nightclub in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state, where a night party planned to combat illegal substance consumption was scheduled to take place. They detained a few of the organizers after discovering drug exhibits in their possession.
The anti-drug agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement that the raid was carried out in response to reliable information that someone was planning a nighttime gathering called “Unholy Alliance…for Stoners and Drunkards,” where a variety of illegal substances would be offered for sale and consumed by attendees.
‘’Soon after the organisers began to gather at Berrymist Lounge located at Ofatedo area of Osogbo to start the party, NDLEA operatives swooped on them, arrested them and recovered illicit substances of abuse and drug paraphernalia from them. Those arrested include: Ikotu Omolayo, 25; Fola Olabode, 30, and Akorede Adunni Ajibola, 22. The management of the Lounge has also been invited for further investigation. This comes on the heels of an earlier raid on Thursday 23rd Nov. at Area 5 forest reserve, Ile-Ife where operatives recovered 156kgs of cannabis sativa.”
Babafemi added that the main organizer of the Unholy Alliance drug party, 30-year-old Gbemileke Adelola (aka BIG LHYNZ ) was arrested by NDLEA operatives this morning November 26.
