**Former Lagos Councilor Arrested, Illicit Drugs Recovered in Baby Diapers** In a shocking turn of events, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a former councilor from Lagos state's Ibeju-Lekki local government council. Sheleru Sadiq Olalekan, a 45-year-old man who has served two terms as a councilor, was apprehended by NDLEA operatives at his residence in Ilado, Ibeju-Lekki. Olalekan, who currently works as a legislative aide, was arrested on Monday, 2nd March 2026, after NDLEA agents conducted a search at his residence. During the search, they recovered 40 kilograms of skunk, a type of cannabis, from one of his rooms. When questioned, Olalekan admitted ownership of the illicit substance and the property where it was found. In a separate incident, NDLEA officers in Abuja intercepted a 32-year-old businessman, Emeka Hyginus Okwor, who was driving from Enugu to Abuja. A search of his luggage revealed 1,000 pills of tapentadol 250mg, concealed inside baby diapers. Okwor, who claimed to be taking the consignment to his provision store in Niger state, admitted ownership of the illicit pills. These incidents highlight the creative and sometimes shocking ways in which illicit substances are being smuggled into the country. The use of baby diapers to conceal drugs is a new trend that has raised concerns among law enforcement agencies. The NDLEA has been working tirelessly to combat the menace of drug trafficking and abuse in Nigeria. These arrests are a testament to their efforts and a warning to those involved in the illicit trade.
