“Six persons were arrested in all. Two females and four males.”
Videos surfaced online showing officials of the agency cuffing the two artistes who are affiliated with Naira Marley.
The scene believed to have played out in Lagos witnessed a struggle between Marley’s associates and the NDLEA.
Marley is still facing an 11-count charge bordering on conspiracy, possession of counterfeit credit cards, and fraud.
He was first arrested in May 2019 by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Zinoleesky and Mohbad’s arrest comes about six weeks after De General, the skit maker, was apprehended in another NDLEA raid.
The skit maker was later charged with three counts of trafficking tramadol and cannabis sativa and convicted of the charges by a federal high court in Lagos after pleading guilty to possessing substances found in his home.
The court said the volume of substance was too minimal for a sentence and cautioned him to “go and sin no more”.
