A socialite from Lagos, Ademola Kazeem, also known as Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammed, has been listed as wanted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for offenses involving the exportation and trafficking of illegal substances as well as money laundering.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi revealed this to media in a statement today.
The alleged drug dealer is the owner of the Adekaz hotels.
According to the agency, they sought him after he ignored their invitation.
“The wanted drug kingpin was uncovered as the sponsor of some traffickers arrested by the anti-narcotics agency in their recent attempt to export cocaine to Dubai, UAE, and other destinations outside Nigeria,” the statement reads.
“Soon after the arrest of one of his mules, Bolujoko Muviwa Babalola, a Lagos BRT driver on 27th June at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MIA, Ikeja, Alhaji Ademola Kazeem who is also the Chairman of Adekaz Global Integrated Services went underground.
“Following his failure to honour invitations sent to him, the Agency approached a Federal High Court in Lagos with three prayers: to attach and seal his identified properties in Lagos and Ibadan; declare him wanted and block his bank account with a cash balance of Two, Hundred and Seventeen Million Naira (N217,000,000.00), all of which were granted.”
