Operatives of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Thursday October 30, 2025 arrested a music artist, Godspower George Osahenrumwen, whose stage name is Steady Boy, while attempting to take delivery of a large consignment of Loud, a strain of cannabis concealed inside three cartons of bathtub imported along with other items such as clothes and gadgets from New York, United States.
This followed the seizure of the shipment, which arrived at the import shed of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, from the US aboard a DHL flight on Tuesday, 28th October.
The 20-year-old music artist was nabbed at Bougain Villa, Primewater Gardens 2, Freedom Way, Lekki, Lagos, when he showed up as the consignee to take delivery of the 140 bags of Loud with a gross weight of 77.20kg on behalf of a syndicate, which includes his manager, Zion Osazee Omigie (a.k.a. Zee Money), who is currently at large.
In a related development, the agency has discovered a clandestine laboratory where Colorado, a synthetic strain of cannabis, is being produced in a residential building located at Ajao Estate, Isolo Lagos, with large quantities of freshly cooked Colos and various precursor chemicals for drug production recovered, and the 30-year-old lab owner, Stephen Kelechi Imoh, arrested.
The discovery followed months of intelligence gathering on possible Colos laboratories in Lagos after NDLEA officers intercepted consignments of freshly produced Colos in March and May 2025 in the state, a development that suggested the dangerous psychoactive substance, which was hitherto imported into the country, was now locally produced.
The effort paid off on Thursday, 30th October 2025, when NDLEA officers raided the residential apartment in Ajao Estate, Isolo Lagos, which Kelechi converted to a laboratory for cooking Colos, a strain of cannabis produced with the psychoactive plant and various chemicals. Recovered from the apartment include: freshly cooked Colos weighing 16.2 kilograms; ADB-CHMNACA Cannabinol -1.7kg; Potassium Carbonate -4.5kg and Dibromobutane – 91 litres.
Following the arrest and seizures, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, reiterated the Agency’s resolve to continue targeting and dismantling every identified drug syndicate in Nigeria, while concurrently denying them the benefits of their illicit trade by effecting the forfeiture of all traceable assets to the Federal Government.
