The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has officially labeled Nnamuka Kelvin Uchenna, widely known as Odogwu, as a wanted man. He is suspected of operating an illegal methamphetamine laboratory, managing illicit production, and engaging in money laundering. Alongside him, the agency has declared Emmanuella Chinonso Iroka, Nnamuka Ifeanyi Kingsley, and Ekechi Franklin Chijioke, also called Ekene Okwunaga, as wanted individuals.
This legal move stems from an order issued by Justice Iniekenimi Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Owerri, Imo State, based on an NDLEA application submitted on July 3, 2026. This action was prompted by the discovery of a meth production site in Isiozi, Umuaka, on February 25, 2026. Agents recovered 18.4 kilograms of the drug, and subsequent inquiries connected the four suspects to the facility, all of whom have since fled.
Financial investigations allowed the agency to secure a freeze on ₦9.84 billion held across various accounts associated with the group. Furthermore, court orders were obtained to seize several assets, such as a gas station, multiple apartment buildings, and four SUVs. NDLEA Chairman, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), stated that the operation highlights the agency’s resolve to shatter trafficking rings and cripple their financial foundations. He urged citizens to share any relevant information regarding the whereabouts of the fugitives to assist with ongoing enforcement efforts.
