Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested one Lami Mai Rigima, a notorious queen of drug cartel supplying psychoactive substances to traffickers in Taraba State, months after being on their wanted list.
The 40-year-old suspected queen of the drug world came under the anti-narcotic agency’s searchlight when a number of traffickers arrested in the state in 2021 and early this year fingered her as their supplier.
According to the agency’s spokesman Femi Babafemi, the manhunt for Lami paid off when operatives tracked her to her hideout in Iware village in Ardo Kola local government area of Taraba State
The search for Lami began in October 2021 following the arrest, prosecution and conviction of a drug dealer, Abdullahi Madaki.
After serving his brief jail sentence, Madaki returned to the illicit trade with Lami still as his supplier.
Madaki was however rearrested on February 13, 2022 while another trafficker, Jamilu Hassan, who is also a member of Lami’s supply chain, was nabbed on February 24 2022.
