A drug peddler, disguising as a mad person in the Ire-Akari area of Isolo in Lagos has on Tuesday night been arrested by police officials attached to the area.
This development is after media reports that the man was pretending to be mad.
Earlier in April, AF24NEWS had carried out an investigation on the drug peddler and reported that he disguised as a ‘lunatic’ to deal in assorted narcotics inside the dirty nylon bags he carried during the day and evening hours.

Some of these drugs include marijuana, codeine, Eskay (Skunk), colorado (synthetic cannabinoid), and molly (methylamphetamine or estarcy), among others.
After his arrest, his hideouts were also combed and his items were taken away with him.
A casual look at Michael shows lunacy written all over him – dirty dreadlocks, red eyes, cracked lips, rotten teeth with tattered clothes, roll-up sleeves, and a dirty piece of nylon tied around his waist to hold his trousers. He roams barefooted and often sits in front of Okeho Street opposite St. Mary’s Catholic Church.
Meanwhile, as earlier reported, he was peddling drugs.
