NDLEA Declares ALLEGED Drug Baron Wanted

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has declared wanted Lagos socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels, Alhaji Ademola Afolabi Kazeem (a.k.a Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammed) over offences bordering on exportation and trafficking of illicit drugs as well as money laundering.

The suspect was declared wanted after he failed to honour NDLEA invitations.

The order was granted the Agency by a Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday   October 17,2022. The wanted alleged drug kingpin was uncovered as the sponsor of some traffickers arrested by the anti-narcotics agency in their recent attempt to export cocaine to Dubai, UAE and other destinations outside Nigeria.

After the arrest of one of his mules (Bolujoko Muyiwa Babalola, a Lagos BRT driver on June 27, 2022 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja) Alhaji Ademola Kazeem who is also the Chairman of Adekaz Global Integrated Services, went underground. 

When he failed to honour invitations sent to him, the Agency approached a Federal High Court in Lagos with three prayers: to attach and seal his identified properties in Lagos and Ibadan; declare him wanted and block his bank account with a cash balance of Two Hundred and Seventeen Million Naira (N217,000,000.00), all of which were granted.

As a result, NDLEA operatives on Wednesday 26th October 2022 sealed six of the identified properties located on Lagos Island.
