Lagos socialite and a Nollywood filmmaker, known as Alhaja Aishat Feyisara Ajoke Elediye, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
The 61-year-old,who is also recognized as the Iyalaje of Blessing Sisters, a club made up of some top society women in Lagos,was arrested on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 in her mansion at Okota area of Lagos, following the interception of a truckload of illicit dr¥g consignment from her staff on the same day.
Before her cover was blown,Alhaja Ajoke is regarded a businesswoman, as many were under the impression that her wealth came from dealing in imported fabrics and shoes from China that she traded in.
Meanwhile, her major wealth trading has now been traced to her involvement in illicit drug business.
In a statement by NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, he said:
“Known in the drug underworld as “Iya Ruka”, Alhaja Ajoke as she is fondly called in social circle, has her true identity shrouded in mystery for years,while she remained on the wanted list of NDLEA for leading one of the drug cartels operating from Mushin area of Lagos.
After operating for years as a kingpin in the business of illicit drug trafficking,her identity was finally uncovered and she was arrested 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 that was been driven by one of her staff.
Following the arrest,the operatives were able to locate her hideout at 33 Adebayo Oyewole street, off Ago Palace way, Okota,which they stormed and found her,and was promptly arrested
