Breaking News: NDLEA arrests notorious drug kingpin after 13 years in hiding.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has apprehended Reginald Peter Chidiebere, a notorious drug kingpin, following a large seizure of co***ne and he**in linked to him at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos.
Chidiebere was first arrested in 2013 for his involvement in a co***ne shipment into Nigeria but jumped bail and evaded capture for over a decade. He resurfaced in February 2024 as a key player in a he**in shipment of 49.70 kilograms intercepted by NDLEA operatives.
The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, revealed that Chidiebere surrendered on February 13, 2026, due to mounting pressure from law enforcement. He is now in custody facing old and new charges related to he**in consignments.
In related news, NDLEA operatives dismantled a secret methamphetamine laboratory in Imo state, recovering 18.4 kilograms of the drug and production equipment. The agency also intercepted a Togolese woman with 5,000 tramadol pills and seized significant quantities of skunk across various states.
NDLEA Chairman, Mohamed Buba Marwa, commended the agency's efforts, saying, "We remain resolute in bringing all offenders to justice".
