NDLEA Arrests Fela’s Wife, 2 Others Over Marijuana

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has arrested one of late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s wives with substances suspected to be cannabis, the agency said in a statement today.

The suspect, Najite Anikulapo-Kuti, was apprehended within the week alongside a lady who was a former dancer for the music legend and a man at her Ikeja residence, Mitchell Ofoyeju, the NDLEA Head of Public Affairs, said.

A total of 340 grammes of dried weeds of cannabis were recovered from the suspects during search.

NDLEA Lagos State Commander Alhaji Sule Aliyu disclosed that the arrest of the suspects and seizure was made following a tip-off.

He gave the names of the suspects as Najite Anikulapo-Kuti, 45, found with 50 grammes of cannabis, Helen Richards, 36, found with 170 grammes of cannabis and Mike Arinze, 26, found with 120 grammes of cannabis.

“The suspects were arrested at Gbemisola Street, Ikeja. The substances recovered from them tested positive for cannabis,” the Commander stated.

The Chairman and Chief Executive of the agency, Ahmadu Giade, said that the case is under investigation.

He said: “the arrest has been brought to my notice and the case is under investigation.”

Najite who hails from Delta State has a daughter for the late music legend, the agency said.

“This temptation should have been resisted by me,” she reportedly said.

Richards who used to be dancer with Fela said that she sells cannabis to sustain herself.

The single mother with a three-year old son was found in possession of 170 grammes of cannabis.

In her words, “it was the demand of my customers that pushed me into cannabis trade. Most of them prefer to smoke hemp when drinking beer”.

Helen hails from Abi in Delta State.

The last suspect, Arinze, who in his confessional statement said that he sells cannabis in night clubs was found with 120 grammes of hemp in his pockets at the time of the arrest.

“I was drinking beer at Mama’s place when the officers came and found the hemp in my pockets. I used to sell hemp in night clubs to survive,” he was quoted as saying.

I’m Gay And The Head Of Illuminati In Nigeria....Charly Boy

Controversial maverick entertainment personality, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has set another record with his confession that he is gay. By so confessing, he becomes only the second publicly known gay man in Nigeria. This is a record that Pastor Rowland Macaulay beat him to by being the first Nigerian to openly come out and even establish a church that catered for only gays. Those who know Charly Boy well however say he’s not someone who likes being a follower. He’s always a leader in everything he does and he’s now ready to take his rightful leadership position in the gay world. Continue to read… In an interview with a new publication, Danfo Express, Charly Boy declared that he is gay and not ashamed of being gay. Even as he made other disclosures about himself, he didn’t forget to add that he is the head of the Illuminati in Nigeria, the same Illuminati that people accuse Jay-Z, D’Banj and Don Jazzy of being members and they keep denying membership. While his audacious revelations might seem like a publicity stunt on his part, let’s not forget the popular saying ‘there’s no smoke with-out fire’. For Charly Boy to say all these things about himself there must be an element of truth in them. As a judge on Nigerian Idol, not only did he impose himself on other judges, Yinka Davies and the American, Jeffrey Daniels, he was always going with a skull to the show and once even went with a huge snake that scared the audience.
