Queen Christmas surrenders to NDLEA after eight months on the run
Aderinoye Queen Christmas, a former beauty queen, has turned herself in to the Lagos State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) after nearly eight months on the run.
Femi Babafemi, the NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, confirmed her surrender in a statement released on Sunday.
The suspect, whose real name is Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, was sought by the agency since January after fleeing her Lekki residence following a raid on January 24, 2024.
The raid, prompted by credible intelligence, uncovered evidence suggesting her involvement in drug trafficking.
“The suspect was Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015/2016 and the founder of Queen Christmas Foundation,” Babafemi stated.
“Recovered from her home during the search witnessed by the estate officials include 606 grams of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, an electronic weighing scale, large quantities of drugs packing plastics, a black RAV 4 SUV marked Lagos KSF 872 GQ, and her picture frame among others.
“The suspect who claimed she has been hiding in Akure Ondo state since January when she escaped arrest in Lekki Lagos however surrendered to the Agency on Wednesday 28th August.”
Aderinoye, who had reportedly been hiding in Akure, Ondo State, since her escape, surrendered to the NDLEA on August 28, 2024.
