In a massive breakthrough against international narcotics trafficking, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has dismantled a transnational criminal organization linked to drug money laundering worth hundreds of billions of Naira.
The operation, coordinated with the US-DEA and law enforcement in Switzerland, France, and Greece, led to the arrest of billionaire drug baron Amadi Simon in Switzerland.
Simultaneous raids on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, resulted in the capture of Amadi’s co-conspirators, Jecinta Amara Ikechi in Anambra and Blessing Ngozi Amadi in Delta.

NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) revealed that the cartel used a complex web of shell companies and cryptocurrency accounts to hide illicit funds.
Several multi-billion assets, including the Jovi Hotel chain in Delta and luxury apartments in Abuja, have been seized.
According to Qubes Magazine, this multi-year investigation highlights the NDLEA’s zero-tolerance policy toward financial crimes.
Marwa thanked the US-DEA for their tactical support, emphasizing that Nigeria will no longer be a sanctuary for drug proceeds.
