A wanted ex-beauty queen, Aderinoye Queen Christmas, also known as Queen Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, has surrendered to National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Lagos Command, after about eight months in hiding.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi.
The ex-beauty queen was declared wanted by the agency in January after she escaped from her Lekki, Lagos, residence when NDLEA operatives raided her apartment at Oral Estate, Lekki, on Wednesday 24th January following credible intelligence that she deals in illicit substances.
“The suspect was Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015/2016 and founder of Queen Christmas Foundation.
“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 drug packing plastics, a black RAV 4 SUV marked Lagos KSF 872 GQ, and her picture frame, among others.
“The suspect, who claimed to have been hiding in Akure, Ondo State since January when she escaped arrest in Lekki Lagos, however, surrendered to the Agency on Wednesday, 28th August,” Babafemi stated.
