The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested Lagos hotelier and notorious drug baron Frank Chijioke Ibemesi, popularly known as Chisco Bee, following a protracted surveillance effort. Ibemesi, 42, was detained early Saturday at his Daisy Garden Hotel in Isolo, Lagos, where officers led him to a warehouse containing 42 jumbo bags and four cartons of Loud cannabis, totalling 1,762.8 kg. The raid also yielded cash in multiple foreign currencies.
