The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture 2015/2016, Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, wanted for dealing in illicit drugs.
Ms Aderinoye is the founder of Queen Christmas Foundation, a non-governmental organisation.
NDLEA’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement that the former beauty queen escaped from her Lekki, Lagos residence as operatives were closing in on her.
He stated that NDLEA operatives raided the apartment of Aderinoye at Oral Estate, Lekki on January 24 following credible intelligence that she was dealing in illicit substances.
