The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Nigeria is actively searching for Aderinoye Queen Christmas, also known as Queen Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, following allegations of her involvement in drug trafficking.
Last week, officers raided her residence in Lagos, but she managed to evade arrest.
The NDLEA stated that the raid was conducted based on “credible” intelligence pointing to the ex-beauty queen’s connection to illicit substances.
“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,” the statement added.
The suspect was the creator of the Queen Christmas Foundation and Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015–2016.
She has not yet responded to the charge.
According to the agency, another suspect was detained at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport last week while returning from Brazil after consuming 60 large wraps of cocaine.
