Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested a skit maker, Sunday Joshua, popularly known on social media as De-General, following the raid of a notorious drug joint at Orchid Estate, Lekki area of Lagos State. His arrest sparked controversy among his friends, who claimed he was set up and his phone damaged during his confrontation with operatives. However, spokesperson for the agency, Femi Babafemi, said narcotics officers, acting on credible intelligence, stormed the drug joint and arrested three suspects with illicit drugs. The search led to the recovery of drug exhibits including cannabis Sativa, Tramadol 225mg, and paraphernalia for drug use. The video trending on social media was the moment the suspect and his friends disrupted the bid to conduct a search of the house. The comedian was seen live on Instagram before his arrest, confronting NDLEA officers at his residence. His friend Amodu Ayodeji Peter, known as Ayothecreator, said that the comedian was set up as he does not do drugs. Debo Adedayo, known as Mr. Macaroni, said that Nigerian youths suffer oppression and brutality due to their popularity.
