How NDLEA Arrested Nollywood Filmmaker, Alhaja Aishat Feyisara Over Massive Drug Shipments

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has apprehended Alhaja Aishat Feyisara Ajoke Elediye, a 61-year-old Lagos socialite and alleged drug kingpin, for her involvement in large-scale drug trafficking.

The arrest took place on New Year’s Day at her mansion on Adebayo Oyewole Street, off Ago Palace Way in Okota, Lagos.

Alhaja Aishat Feyisara’s arrest followed the interception of a truckload of illicit drugs being transported by her staff member.

NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi revealed that Alhaja Feyisara, who is also a filmmaker, has been on the agency’s wanted list for her role as the leader of drug cartels operating out of the Mushin area of Lagos.

Known within the drug underworld as “Iya Ruka” and referred to as “Alhaja Ajoke” in her social circles, she had managed to conceal her identity for years while evading capture.

Her cover was blown when NDLEA operatives, acting on intelligence, intercepted a white Isuzu truck carrying 44 jumbo sacks containing 1,540 kilograms of imported cannabis.

The NDLEA spokesman said the truck was driven by one of her staff members, 41-year-old Abideen Adio.

He said that following the interception, NDLEA agents raided Alhaja Aishat Feyisara’s residence and arrested her.

Babafemi described the arrest as a major breakthrough in the agency’s fight against drug trafficking networks in Lagos.
