Olayiwola Matthew

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have successfully apprehended a long-wanted drug kingpin, Lekan Jimoh, popularly known as Kanmo-Kanmo, ending a 12-year manhunt following his involvement in the brutal killing of three NDLEA officers.

​The wanted drug kingpin is notorious for drug trafficking, evading arrest, and mobilising armed thugs against security agents.

Kanmo-Kanmo was however on January 16, 2026 tracked to his hideout in Owode town, Ogun State by tactical teams of the Agency following credible intelligence.

During the clinical operation, the suspect was found in possession of 69 kilograms of skunk, a strain of cannabis.

The arrest marks a significant breakthrough in the Agency’s commitment to ensuring that no fugitive, regardless of how long they evade justice, remains beyond the reach of the law.
