The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has unraveled illicit drugs at the residence of Senator Oyelola Yisa Ashiru, representing Kwara South.<\/p>\n
The agency\u2019s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, revealed that the raid resulted in the arrest of two of the senator\u2019s aides.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe personal house of the senator had been raided in recent past, where drugs and illicit substances were recovered, while two of his aides were arrested,\u201d Babafemi said.<\/p>\n
He added that the agency had received intelligence about the senator\u2019s involvement in drug-related activities, leading to the raid.
\nThe NDLEA has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting drug trafficking and abuse, stating that the law applies to everyone, regardless of their political status.<\/p>\n
The agency dismissed the senator\u2019s claims of being \u201ccorrupt and compromised\u201d as defamatory and not reflective of its work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to dismantle all drug networks, including those connected to the senator\u2019s home, the law is clear, and we will ensure that those involved in illicit activities are brought to justice,\u201d Babafemi said<\/p>\n
This development comes after Senator Ashiru accused the NDLEA of being \u201ccorrupt and compromised\u201d during a Senate plenary debate. The agency has maintained its professionalism and dedication to combating drug trafficking and abuse.<\/p>\n
In a related development, the NDLEA has arrested and prosecuted several individuals linked to drug-related activities, including a Canada-based nurse and two others for narcotics trafficking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
