The aura of invincibility was lifted on January 1, 2025, when NDLEA operatives acting on intelligence intercepted a white Isuzu truck. Babafemi disclosed that the car was being driven by 41-year-old Abideen Adio, one of Elediye’s workers, when it was found to be carrying 44 enormous sacks containing 1,540 kg of imported cannabis.
On January 1, 2025, 61-year-old Alhaja Aishat Feyisara Ajoke Elediye, a well-known Lagos socialite and wanted drug kingpin, was apprehended by National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) agents in a major breakthrough. After a truckload of illegal substances connected to her was seized, she was arrested at her home in the Okota neighborhood of Lagos.
Alhaja Elediye, notoriously known in the drug underworld as “Iya Ruka” and called Alhaja Ajoke in social circles, had been able to hide her true name for years, according to a statement issued by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi. Because she was in charge of one of the largest drug gangs based in Lagos’ Mushin neighborhood, she had continued to be on the NDLEA’s wanted list.
After the seizure, she was taken into custody by NDLEA operatives who went to her home at 33 Adebayo Oyewole Street, which is off Ago Palace Way in Okota.
Alhaja Elediye is well-known to the public as a businesswoman who imports shoes and textiles from China, but Babafemi disclosed that her lawful firm was actually a big illegal narcotics enterprise. In addition, she is the Iyalaje of the Blessing Sisters, a powerful group of women in Lagos culture.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
