The National Drug Law Enforcement, NDLEA, has declared a Port Harcourt-based prophetess and founder of Christ Power Adoration Ministries, Faith Ugochi, and a popular Instagram couple, Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen, wanted for alleged drug trafficking.
The trio have been accused of recruiting underage girls for their drug trafficking ring while serving as the arrowheads of an international syndicate based in Los Angeles, California.
The suspects were exposed when the NDLEA intercepted a consignment of 32.70 kilograms of Loud, a strong variant of cannabis concealed in cartons of used wears, at the NAHCO import shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja Lagos, on Wednesday 16th November 2022.
Spokesperson of the anti-drug agency, Femi Babafemi, who confirmed this in a statement released on Sunday, April 2, 2023, said further investigations led to the arrest of four more suspects: Chikodi Favour; Obiyom Shalom Chiamaka; Nnochiri Chidinma Promise and Edward Omatseye (aka Montana).
Favour, 15, led the operatives to a duplex accommodation in the Ikate area of Lekki, which was later discovered to be a rented apartment by the criminal group specifically for four young girls who the syndicate uses for drug marketing and distribution.
During their preliminary interviews, it was discovered that the syndicate rented another building inside Richmond Estate, Lekki, which was used as a drug warehouse. However, when operatives arrived at the house, they discovered that other members of the syndicate had broken into the store and carted away bags of illegal drugs.
The anti-drug agency has declared wanted Prophetess Faith Ugochi, who used her church platform to recruit teenage girls to work as sales girls for the business’s owners, Igho Ubiribo (aka Tiny) and Danielle Simba Allen (aka Dani).
Meanwhile, efforts to get the trio to surrender themselves to the agency for questioning have proved abortive.
