The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that wanted ex-beauty queen, Aderinoye Queen Christmas, has surrendered herself to NDLEA Lagos Command after about eight months in hiding.
This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by the Director of Media and Advocacy of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi.
He said the suspect, born as Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, was declared wanted by the agency in January after she escaped from her Lekki, Lagos State residence.
This followed a raid by NDLEA operatives of her apartment at Oral Estate on January 24, 2024, after credible intelligence revealed that she deals in illicit substances.
“The suspect was Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015/2016 and the founder of Queen Christmas Foundation. Recovered from her home during the search witnessed by the estate officials include 606 grams of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, an electronic weighing scale, large quantities of drugs packing plastics, a black RAV 4 SUV marked Lagos KSF 872 GQ, and her picture frame among others.
“The suspect who claimed she has been hiding in Akure Ondo state since January when she escaped arrest in Lekki Lagos, however, surrendered to the Agency on Wednesday 28th August,” Babafemi stated.
