The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has captured a notorious drug baron, Henry Okamaru, after 5 months of being on the run.

Okamaru was declared wanted after he was discovered to be the owner of a 2000.6kg of Cannabis Sativa seized in a concrete mixer truck in Adamawa State on 2nd December 2021.

He was captured in Ondo state after two suspects: Matthew Donuwe and Friday Nmborgwu were arrested in connection to the consignment.

They had confessed that the concrete mixer truck with Lagos registration number SMK 890 XB was loaded with the illicit drug in Ogbese, Ondo state after which they travelled for two months on the road before arriving in Adamawa State where they were eventually arrested by NDLEA operatives.

Investigations reveal that Okamaru is one of the leaders of a cannabis cultivation cartel that operates in the Ondo-Ekiti axis, while he shuttles between Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Edo and Delta State from where he coordinates supplies of illicit consignments to Northern parts of the country and Lagos State.
