After years of evading arrest, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested the most wanted Lagos drug baron, Alhaji Sulaiman Jimoh, while trying to escape in his Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 SUV.
The anti-narcotic agents said that the 57-year-old suspect, popularly known as Temo, was arrested at his enclave in Mushin on Monday 22nd July 2024 after an initial resistance from him and his horde of hoodlums.
“In the last two years, the NDLEA had intercepted large consignments of illicit drugs worth billions of naira owned by Temo but he has remained largely evasive while a few encounters with him and his armed gangs in his Mushin enclave had resulted in gunfight.”
NDLEA, aided by modern tools and intelligence, said that the concerted effort to get him paid off on Monday 22nd July 2024 when its surveillance teams on his trail tracked and pinned him down at Igbarere street, Mushin.
“A reinforcement of about 50 operatives was immediately mobilized to the area while he was attempting to escape in a Mercedes Benz SUV GLE 350 marked 01G-300G.”
“His attempt to escape by mobilizing hoodlums to engage and distract the operatives however failed after which he was overpowered and whisked away from the chaotic scene while his men surrendered to the superior firepower of the anti-narcotic agents who also succeeded in recovering the Mercedes Benz SUV the suspect was found in”
