A Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced two notorious drug traffickers, Ajetsibo Emami, popularly known as Warri Kinsman, and Solomon Akpomuai, to a combined 10 years imprisonment. The convictions followed separate arrests by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and Customs operatives, which exposed their major drug trafficking networks.
Emami, 37, was apprehended in Ikeja on June 28, 2025, after a three-day sting operation that dismantled his syndicate. The NDLEA recovered 24 jumbo bags containing 681 pouches of Canadian Loud, weighing 414.2kg. He was arraigned before Justice Deinde Dipeolu in charge number FHC/L/636C/2025 and on August 18, 2025, sentenced to six years imprisonment or an option of a N50 million fine.
In a related case, 51-year-old Akpomuai was caught with 2,197.8kg of skunk along the Shagamu–Ijebu Ode expressway on June 3, 2025, and later handed over to the NDLEA. He was arraigned in charge number FHC/L/635C/2025 before the same judge and sentenced to four years in prison, also with an option of a N50 million fine. NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), applauded the rulings, stressing that the convictions show the agency’s anti-drug strategies are producing tangible results.
