After many years of wearing the toga of invincibility, the overall head of the Mushin, Lagos drug cartel, 57-year-old Alhaji Sulaiman Jimoh (alias Olowoidiogede, populary known as Temo), has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at his enclave after an initial resistance from him and his horde of hoodlums.
In the last two years, the NDLEA had intercepted large consignments of illicit drugs worth billions of naira owned by Temo but he has remained largely evasive while a few encounters with him and his armed gangs in his Mushin enclave had resulted in gunfight.
Some of the recent seizures of his shipments include: a 14, 524.8 kilograms of Ghana Loud, a strong strain of cannabis sativa, smuggled into Lagos from Ghana in two trucks and a J5 bus intercepted at Ojuelegba area of Lagos in the early hours of Sunday 28th January 2024; two truck-loads of the same substance weighing 8,852kg intercepted at Eleko beach, Lekki Lagos on 4th May 2023 and 252kg of Loud seized from his enclave in Mushin on Wednesday 26th July 2023. Indeed, in the last two encounters, his men engaged NDLEA operatives in gunfight.
The drug kingpin was very notorious for always being on the move to evade arrest but with persistence and determination of the Agency aided by modern tools and intelligence, the concerted effort to get him paid off at 10am on Monday 22nd July 2024 when NDLEA’s surveillance teams on his trail tracked and pinned him down at Igbarere street, Mushin. A reinforcement of about 50 operatives was immediately mobilized to the area while he was attempting to escape in a Mercedes Benz SUV GLE 350 marked 01G-300G. His attempt to escape by mobilizing hoodlums to engage and distract the operatives however failed after which he was overpowered and whisked away from the chaotic scene while his men surrendered to the superior firepower of the anti-narcotic agents who also succeeded in recovering the Mercedes Benz SUV the suspect was found in.
In his reaction to the arrest of Temo, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) commen

Controversial Nigerian actress, Lizzy Anjorin has addressed allegations of having an affair with Toyin Abraham’s husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi.
We understands that a blogger Esther Aboderin, popularly known as Esabod, recently accused Anjorin of engaging in an intimate relationship with Ajeyemi.
However, speaking via Instagram, Anjorin described the allegation as evil.
She further urged the public to disregard the claims.
“Concerning the rumour that is being spread that Toyin and Kolawole’s marriage is facing challenges, I am not interested. Whatever happens is their problem. It does not affect my life. Whoever wants to do evil should continue. Disregard all the information,” she said.
Recall that lizzy was accuse of thief, but the actress later came out and address the issue sorround the allegation.
in her statement lizzy said it Is Ridiculous To Claim That Someone Of My Calibre Is A Thief – Lizzy Anjorin
Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has said that it is impossible for someone of her calibre to steal gold worth ₦91,000.
The thespian stated this while revisiting the controversial theft case that surfaced on social media months ago.
Anjorin was accused of stealing a gram of gold worth ₦91,000 at Idumota market in Lagos.
However, speaking during an appearance in a podcast, the actress stated that the value of the alleged gold could be compared to a grain of rice.
She dismissed the case, adding that someone of her calibre, who deals in heavy gold and other fashion accessories worth millions, could not stoop so low as to steal gold worth ₦91,000
According to her, “Let’s establish the fact that we are talking about N91,000 gold when a gram of gold was around N150,000. A gram of gold is less than a grain of rice, so how can I go into the market to steal something less than a grain of rice? I am a certified jewellery seller, I sell gold and I sell diamonds. You can tell just by looking at me. I am a certified fabric merchant, and if you watch me closely, you will realise that I am not a simple person when it comes to fashion—I love it big.”
Continuing, she said, “What I am wearing right now is like 350 to 400 grams, and everybody knows I don’t sell small gold jewellery, I sell 19 to 22 carats. I sell the best jewellery. So how can I stoop so low as to steal a gram of gold at Eko Idumota? That is ridiculous. I am not a thief; I will never be a thief. I am just too disciplined and too straightforward to become a thief.”

Soun Appoints Interim Imam, Clears Air On Ayilara’s Status
![](https://lagoslately.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FB_IMG_1725098006946.jpg)
The installation of Sheikh Habeeb Ayilara as new Chief Imam by Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye has begun to generate controversy with the status of the incumbent Chief Imam, Sheikh Teliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara, remaining unknown.
The new Imam was turbaned before Muslim leaders and dignitaries by Soun at the Abata section of the palace.
The Parakoyi of Ogbomosoland, Alhaji Sirajudeen Aleem, clarified the new Imam would only serve as the Chief Imam of the palace, pending the outcome of a court case involving the incumbent Chief Imam.
Soun emphasised the importance of religious harmon, saying that the throne of Soun was rooted in traditional religion, warning against making it a religious issue.
The monarch said: “The throne is that of the traditionalists. Soun Ogunlola who founded the throne was a pure traditionalist; he worshiped Ogun deity.
“We Christians and Muslims are just intruding so to say, it originally belongs to the traditional religion worshippers so we should encourage religious harmony. It neither belongs to either of us Christians nor Muslims, they are only lending us the throne, eni a fi rolo to ni toun baje kinni ki oloro o wa se.
“Let me clear this the event of today is not the bus stop. We are yet to reach our destination, the bus only stopped to pick someone. I have refused to remove him (the incumbent Chief Imam Teliat) despite him taking me to court.
“But I told him you can’t take me to court and be leading me in prayer, we don’t go to court and become friends. You that took me to court your intention is to win, to win against the Oba, and you call yourself an indigene of this town.
“Such prayer can’t be answered, i believe. I am a pastor, if l take my member to court will lead in prayer and such member will say amen?”
Oba Ghandi further said: “Today’s event marks my birthday. It is historical. The person we installed today we conducted thorough research, we don’t want to make such mistake again.
“I have been an alfa (Pastor) for 32 years, I believe Imam Teliat was still wearing pant then. That is the truth. And as Christians we don’t mount the pulpit to abuse a king, I don’t know your religion much but in Christendom, we don’t do that, although there are some pastors that say nonsense too.
“We should give reverence to God, the creator on the pulpit not like he is doing on the mumbar.
“Parakoyi has been leading prayer in the palace and representing me but I told him we need an Imam who will be representing me where I am
The new Imam was later presented with Staff and Certificate of office by the Asoju Muslumi of Ogbomosoland, Alhaji Mikahel Misasco.

Senators’ Monthly N29m Earning Is Not Enough For The Demands and Challenges of Their Office – Ex Lawmaker, Ishaku Abbo
![](https://lagoslately.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/InShot_20240820_122826149.jpg)
In an interview on Arise TV on Sunday, Abbo stated that his salary and allowances while serving as a senator totaled N14.4 million, while today senators earn up to N29 million.
He said, “When I was in the Senate, cumulatively, all the allowances were N14.4 million per month. You have a wardrobe allowance, a vehicle allowance, and other allowances put together that were N14.4 million, including the N1 million salary.
“It is about N29 million now. N29 million looks big on paper. I’m saying this as a honest man. I’m not trying to support the National Assembly, and I’ve been a member of that vilified institution for five years. I am not standing with them, but I’ll bear the facts on the table.”
“I had a case of just one person I took to the hospital; I spent N14 million on one person.
“And every month, from all over Adamawa State and other states, my office was besieged with people looking for help.
“I had to start calling some state governors to help me with cases that are being brought from their states into my office.”
Abbo further alleged that some state governors go home with up to N1 billion for state responsibilities.
“From N14 million, I was paying for people’s scholarships, subsiding people’s expenses while a state governor in this country is going home with over N700 million security vote every month, some go home with N1 billion to do other security issues,” he said.
“I am poorer, much poorer as a man when I became a politician than I was before I became a politician,” Abbo added.
