Drug Kingpins Emami, Akpomuai Bag 10-Year Jail Term

Two notorious drug kingpins, Ajetsibo Emami and Solomon Akpomuai, have been sentenced to a combined 10 years in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos. Emami was arrested in Ikeja, Lagos, on June 28, 2025, after the NDLEA dismantled his drug trafficking network.

The agency recovered 24 jumbo bags containing 681 pouches of Canadian Loud strain cannabis weighing a kilogram. Emami's drug ring was busted following credible intelligence about an attempt to move the shipment to Lekki for distribution across the country.

Akpomuai was intercepted by Customs Service with a kilogram of skunk strain cannabis on June 3, 2025, and transferred to the NDLEA. Emami was sentenced to six years in prison with an option of a N50 million fine, while Akpomuai received a four-year prison sentence with the same fine.
