Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have arrested Mr. Onyeaghalachi Stephen Nwogwugwu, one of two brothers who serve as major sources of illicit drug supplies in Southeast and South south zones of the country, after nine years on his trail.

The elder brother, Eze Kaleb Stephen, who is also wanted, narrowly escaped during the overnight operation carried out simultaneously in their two locations: Umuahia and Ntigha Okpuola community in Isiala Ngwa North Local Council of Abia State.

Babafemi said the Agency has been on their trail since 2013, when they organised a mob attack on some of NDLEA operatives who attempted to apprehend them during a raid.“The two drug lords equally own armed militia guarding their houses and drug stores, where they deal in assorted illicit substances like cocaine, heroin, Methamphetamine , Loud/Arizona and all sorts.

“While the younger brother, Onyeaghalachi Stephen Nwogwugwu, who lives in Umuahia, the Abia State capital was successfully arrested, the elder brother, Eze Kaleb Stephen, narrowly escaped when his Ntigha Okpuola community home was stormed by operatives backed by men of the Nigerian Army. In the course of the operation, one of their militiamen, Eberechi Kingsley Monday was also arrested.

The identified hotels include: Jahlove Hotel, Mbawsi, Isiala Ngwa North Local Council, Noicyhl Luxury Hotel, Aba -Port-Harcourt expressway, Aba and Royal Cruise Fast Food, Enugu- Port Harcourt expressway, Isiala Ngwa North Local Council, all in Abia State,” Babafemi said.
