A former beauty queen, Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, has turned herself in to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Lagos, eight months after she was declared wanted for a drug offence.
Aderinoye, who was the Miss Commonwealth Nigeria Culture in 2015/2016, surrendered to the NDLEA on Wednesday, August 28, after being on the run since January.
According to the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, Aderinoye was declared wanted after she escaped from her Lekki, Lagos residence when NDLEA operatives raided her apartment on January 24.
Babafemi said, “Wanted ex-beauty queen, Ms. Aderinoye Queen Christmas, also known as Ms. Queen Oluwadamilola Aderinoye, has surrendered to the Lagos Command of the agency after about eight months in hiding.”
