NDLEA Arrests Fresh-Looking Lekki Restaurant Owner for Alleged U.S.-Nigeria Dr¥g Tr+fficking
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested Arokodare Damil Ebenezer, the owner of Damillionz Takeout in Lekki, Lagos, for allegedly importing 60 parcels of Lo¥d, a potent c+nnabis strain, from the U.S. to Nigeria.
The 43-year-old businessman was apprehended on Monday, March 24, 2025, at Bay Lounge on Admiralty Way, Lekki, where he allegedly ran his dr¥g operation. His arrest came as he awaited the delivery of a fresh narcotics shipment.
According to NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, the arrest followed the interception of a shipment containing seven large cartons of dr¥gs that arrived in Lagos on March 12. NDLEA operatives seized the consignment from a logistics company before tracking it back to Ebenezer.
“After his arrest, a search of his Lekki residence led to the recovery of 94 grams of the same ps¥ch@acgive substance, along with c+nnabis crushers and other dr¥g paraphernalia, bringing the total dr¥g seizure to 32.24 kilograms,” Babafemi stated.
During interrogation, Ebenezer reportedly admitted to starting his ill+cit dr¥g trade in 2017.
