NDLEA Sells Drug Barons Properties For Over ₦6 Billion in Public Auction

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has successfully auctioned four properties seized from convicted drug traffickers. The sales brought in a total of ₦6.1 billion.


The biggest sale was a six-floor hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos. It went for ₦5.9 billion to Tope Ojo and Tunde Olonishakin Estate Firm. This one deal made up most of the money raised.

Other properties sold include:

• A house in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos – ₦219.5 million
• A block of flats in Ejigbo, Lagos – ₦104 million
• A property in Akure, Ondo State – ₦29.36 million

The NDLEA held the public auction at its headquarters in Abuja and Eight properties were up for sale, but only four met or passed their reserve prices. The rest did not sell. Officials from the Federal Ministry of Justice oversaw the process to make sure everything was open and fair.

NDLEA spokespeople said the auction shows that crime does not pay. The money from these sales goes to the government, and the agency wants drug dealers to know that they will lose what they gained from illegal activities.
