The Department of State Services (DSS) arrested a businessman, Ajah Johnson Uchenna; his wife, Rosemary Uchenna; their two daughters, Stella Uchenna and Ngozi Uchenna; and their family friend, Okoro Elijah, after investigations discovered that the group runs a major illicit drug distribution network in Lagos State.
The couple was initially arrested by operatives of the DSS on June 13, 2025, in the Ojo area of the state; they were then transferred to the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) along with 277.5 kg of skunk.
The couple was still being investigated while in custody; however, credible intelligence further discovered that the illicit drug distribution business was being conducted in their house.
A raid on their home and a packing store on July 1, 2025, resulted in the recovery of 231 kg of skunk, and their two daughters and their family friend were also arrested during the raid; the trio were still running the business in the absence of the couple.
