As part of her rescue mission in alleviating poverty and providing succour to the sick, the notable woman of prayer, Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi, has assisted a teenage daughter of a single mother, Oreoluwa Osinbola, to recover her dwindling sight.

According to Mr. Abiodun Paseda, the Founder of Focus on Disability (FOD) Foundation, who facilitated the process, Oreoluwa’s case caught the attention of Reverend Mother Ajayi while on her tour of delivering wealth and health goodies to indigent Nigerians through Mr. Babatunde Balogun, a broadcaster.

Balogun had told Mr. Paseda the story of the only child of a single mother, who was suffering vision loss, associated with ‘flash and floaters’ and in urgent need of eye surgery to correct the defects.

Paseda had promptly travelled to Ibadan to see her and her mother, and they were referred to the University Teaching Hospital, Ibadan, for a series of eye tests. Afterwards, the young girl was referred to Skipper Eye-Q Super Specialty Eye Hospital located at Plot 698 Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Victoria Island, Lagos where the surgery was successfully carried out, and the bill was fully paid by the kindness oriented woman, Rev Mother Esther Ajayi.

Recall that Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi has been in the forefront of providing desirable medical and financial assistance to deserving Nigerians through her Esther Ajayi Foundation. The Foundation has also pledged to affect one million lives this year – a pledge that is almost fulfilled even as the year is still far from ending.

Oreoluwa’s case is one out of the myriads of good tidings Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi and her foundation has unleashed on Nigerians and foreigners alike to make life more meaningful and worthwhile.

For mother and daughter, it was sheer joy and untold happiness as they heaped encomiums on the woman of faith and gratitude, asking God Almighty to constantly bless her with both material and spiritual blessings to continue to dish out God’s love to humanity.

Mother Esther Ajayi is a woman of crazy faith, and a selfless philanthropist, who derives great pleasure in providing support and resources for the homelessness, those in detention camps, as well as poverty-stricken individuals. She is also in the business of rehabilitating offenders, as well as supporting other deserving causes and projects.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, dismissed a case filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), against suspended DCP Abba Kyari on allegations bordering on non-disclosure of assets.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the suit, filed against Kyari and his younger brothers, Mohammed Kyari and Ali Kyari, for failure of the anti-narcotic agency to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

The judge held that the burden of proving a case beyond reasonable doubt falls in the prosecution which it had failed to do so.
The ruling covers only asset declaration allegations. Other cases including drug related offences are still ongoing.

NDLEA Nabs UK-wanted Drug Lord after 15-Year Hunt

Published

By

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 58-year-old fugitive drug lord, Uzoma Valentine Ilomuanya, who had been on the wanted list of Nigerian and British authorities for over 15 years.

His arrest was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by spokesman of the agency, Mr. Femi Babafemi.

Ilomuanya, according to the agency, was apprehended in Lagos on Monday, February 23, 2026, following what officials described as a high-stakes, well-coordinated operation by officers of the Agency’s Special Operations Unit.

He was first arrested in February 2003 in the United Kingdom and later convicted for drug trafficking.

He was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment but released after serving two years following a successful appeal.

In July 2011, Ilomuanya was again arrested in the UK for drug-related offences.

Though granted administrative bail, he absconded and fled to Nigeria, evading further prosecution.

In November 2018, NDLEA operatives arrested him in Nigeria after uncovering two clandestine methamphetamine laboratories — one at his country home in Obinugwu, Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, and another at his residence in Lagos.

During the operation, officers recovered 77.960 kilograms of methamphetamine and extensive drug production equipment.

He was subsequently charged before a Federal High Court in Lagos but later jumped court bail, remaining on the run until his latest arrest.

Reacting to the development, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), described the arrest as a major breakthrough in the agency’s sustained crackdown on drug trafficking networks.

“This arrest serves as a stern warning to those who think they can hide behind borders to escape justice. Whether you jump bail in London or set up clandestine labs in your village, the long arm of the NDLEA will eventually catch up with those who choose to undermine the health, security, and future of our nation,” Marwa said.

He added that the Agency remains committed to strengthening intelligence-led operations and deepening international collaboration to prevent Nigeria from becoming a safe haven for global drug cartels.

Marwa commended officers of the Special Operations Unit for their professionalism, resilience, and diligence in tracking down the fugitive, stressing that the NDLEA remains unwavering in its resolve to dismantle drug trafficking networks operating within the country.

The agency is expected to proceed with legal action against Ilomuanya in the coming days.
