The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has officially declared four associates of notorious Lagos drug kingpin Alhaji Suleiman Aremu Ganiu, also known as Barryshine or Ejeoto, wanted in connection with multiple drug trafficking offenses. This follows a court order issued by Justice Akintayo Aluko.
The four suspects, identified as Olarenwaju Ramon Abdulai (Alhaji Loyingbo), Oluwafemi Akande Abidoye (Igbono, Baba Eje), Olumuyiwa Olufemi Ilori (Murphy), and Alate Kafy Bakare Bukki (Kaffy Travels), are now wanted by the NDLEA. Their photographs are set to be publicly displayed, and they are linked to Barryshine’s extensive drug network, which has been responsible for smuggling operations across borders.
Barryshine, who was arrested in August 2024, had been under surveillance by the NDLEA for years due to his involvement in several foiled drug smuggling attempts. He was implicated in at least four separate cocaine trafficking attempts to Saudi Arabia and Qatar through Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA). These operations were blocked by law enforcement, but many of Barryshine’s drug couriers have already been convicted.
The NDLEA is urging the public to come forward with any information regarding the whereabouts of the four wanted suspects. The agency has provided several means of contact for tips, including a dedicated phone number and various social media platforms:
- Phone Number: 080010203040
- Social Media:
- Instagram, X, TikTok: @ndlea_nigeria
- Facebook: @ndlea01

The NDLEA remains committed to cracking down on drug trafficking and calls on Nigerians to help in their efforts to apprehend these dangerous criminals.
