Former Nigerian beauty queen 'wanted' for peddling drugs

Nigerian authorities have officially announced a wanted notice for Aderinoye Queen Christmas, also known as Queen Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, a former beauty queen. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) initiated this action following her alleged involvement in drug trafficking. The NDLEA disclosed that a recent raid on Aderinoye’s residence in Lagos did not result in her capture. The agency conducted the operation based on credible intelligence pointing to her connection with illicit substances. During the search, which was witnessed by estate officials, 606 grams of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, were uncovered. Additionally, an electronic weighing scale and significant quantities of drug packaging materials were seized. Aderinoye, who previously held the title of Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015/2016 and is the founder of the Queen Christmas Foundation, has yet to respond to the allegations. In a related incident, the NDLEA reported the apprehension of another suspect at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The individual, arriving from Brazil, was found to have ingested 60 large wraps of cocaine.
