According to the NDLEA, Ajoke is known in the drug underworld as ‘Iya Ruka’ and Alhaja Ajoke in social circles. The agency, however, added that her true identity has been shrouded in mystery for years and that she has remained on the wanted list of NDLEA for leading one of the drug cartels operating from Mushin area of Lagos.
Femi Babafemi, NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy in a statement on Sunday, said, “The lid was however blown off her invincibility on Wednesday 1st January 2025 when NDLEA operatives acting on intelligence intercepted a white Izuzu truck carrying 44 jumbo sacks containing 1,540 kilograms of imported cannabis and driven by one of her staff members, 41-year-old Abideen Adio.
“Thereafter, the operatives stormed her hideout at 33 Adebayo Oyewole Street, off Ago Palace Way, Okota, where they arrested her.
“On the surface, Alhaja Ajoke is a businesswoman who imports fabrics and shoes from China but beneath is a massive illicit drug trade. She is also recognized as the Iyalaje of Blessing Sisters, an influential club of society women in Lagos.”
