NDLEA arrests Zinoleesky, Mohbad in midnight raid

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested Zinoleesky and Mohbad, two fast-rising singers, alongside four others.

Some viral videos on social media showed the operatives broke into the musicians’ home in the Lekki district of Lagos State in the early hours of Thursday morning.

According to witnesses, the officials carried out the arrest without any search warrants and manhandled the Marlian Music artists.

In the viral videos, the NDLEA officers were seen hitting the musician with clubs and shooting into the air, forcing them into waiting trucks.

Femi Babafemi, a spokesperson of the NDLEA, confirmed the raid.

“Our men raided an area in Idado estate where Naira Marley’s boys stay. Some quantities of Cannabis and Molly were recovered from their apartment and car,” he told TheCable Lifestyle.

“Six persons were arrested in all. Two females and four males.”

Oniyide Azeez (Zinoleesky) and Ilerioluwa Oladimeji (Mohbad) are signed to Marlian Records owned by controversial singer, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley.

Zinoleesky and Mohbad’s arrest comes about six weeks after DeGeneral, the skit maker, was apprehended in another NDLEA raid.

The skit maker was later charged with three counts of trafficking tramadol and cannabis sativa and convicted of the charges.

The court said the volume of substance was too minimal for a sentence and cautioned him to “go and sin no more”.
