NDLEA has released a statement denying the claim by Lagos State Police Command of not responding. The statement by NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi said, “Indeed, to show the seriousness with which the Agency treated the issue, our formal response, dated Thursday 28th September 2023, was sent by flight to Lagos, delivered and received by the police same Thursday 28th September.

“The summary of our response is reproduced below for the benefit of the inquiring public:

“We also heard the unsubstantiated allegation on social media that Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka MohBad, was arrested and detained by NDLEA on the 24th of February 2022 and given a substance to drink.

“In response to this allegation, we wish to state categorically that MohBad was never arrested neither was he ever detained in the custody of the NDLEA on the said date or any other date before or after.

“The foregoing being the case, the issue of giving him any substance to drink does not arise.”
