NDLEA spokesman Mitchell Ofoyeju, made this known in a press statement  and explained that the alcoholic beverage distributor, Mrs. Ogbuaya was declared wanted by the anti-narcotics agency after an investigation into Odeyemi Omolara Morayo, who was arrested while attempting to smuggle cocaine from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, implicated the socialite in the drug smuggling scheme. .

Mr. Ofoyeju said that the NDLEA has also secured an interim forfeiture order of Mrs. Ogbuaya’s assets worth billions of naira after she ignored several of the agency’s invitations for questioning. Among the assets are expensive properties located in Lagos, Ogun, and Osun States.
