The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has apprehended two University of Ilorin graduates for manufacturing and distributing drug-infused cupcakes to students.
The fresh graduates both identified as Khadijat Abdulraheem, 24, and a 20-year-old student of the University of Ilorin, Ayomide Morakinyo have been arrested on Sunday December 29, 2024 by NDLEA operatives at Tanke-University of Ilorin road, Oke Odo, Ilorin.
According to the operatives, the arrest occurred based on credible intelligence that they were producing and selling drug-laced cupcakes to students in the community.
When their apartment was searched, 42 pieces of drugged cakes were recovered from them.
In similiar development, an ex-convict, Sodade Sunday Eniola, who was arrested by operatives of the Tincan Command of NDLEA in June, 2024, was rearrested.
He was convicted for drug trafficking, prosecuted and sentenced to four years in prison before now.

When he was convicted by a Federal High Court in Lagos on 14th June 2024, the trial judge gave him an option of paying N750,000 fine, which he paid and was let go.
