Five suspects including two sisters and three others have been arrested by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in connection with online sale of drugged cookies, cakes, brownies and other illicit substances to residents of Abuja and beyond, reports

Director of Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, in a statement titled: "NDLEA busts online drug trafficking cartel, arrests five in Abuja."


He said in the statement that five members of the organised drug criminal group were arrested during sting operations carried out between Friday, May 7 and Saturday, May 8, 2021 by officers of the FCT Command of the agency during which different brands of illicit drugs were recovered from them.

“The nabbed drug dealers include Queen Nvene, Collins Ozoemena, Samson Peter, Chika Nvene and Habila Musa.

He said the group specialised in clandestine production of drug-based cookies, brownies and other edibles and marketed them online through Twitter and Instagram handles.

“It also markets and sells all types of marijuana, Arizona, Colorado and Loud, among other illicit drugs, online.”

According to the NDLEA spokesman, while one of the Nvenes, a graduate of Business Administration, produces drugged cookies and brownies and sells same on Instagram, Ozoemena sells all types of illicit drugs, especially Loud and skunk, online.

Peter was said to be the manager of SK Express Courier Company, which manages motorcycles and dispatch riders to deliver illicit drugs from Ozoemena and drugged edibles from Queen and Chika, who are sisters.

The statement added, “Members of the cartel operate from different locations within the Federal Capital Territory, but operate as a network.

“Their arrest followed online orders of drug-based edibles by undercover agents. Supplies of brownies and cookies were delivered and received from different SK Express dispatch riders at various times by narcotic operatives before the final sting operation.”

The statement quoted the agency’s commander for the FCT command, Mohammed Sokoto, as saying that follow up raids of various locations in Gudu, Kubwa, Lokogoma, Apo and Damangazo in the FCT led to the seizure of some illicit substances.

Seized from Queen were 55 pieces of drugged cookies and brownies; 1.3 kilogrammes of skunk used as ingredient for making cookies and brownies; while 300 grammes of skunk were seized from Chika.

From Collins, 0.9 grammes of ecstasy, popularly called molley; 300 grammes of skunk and 200 grammes of Loud were recovered.
