According to punch, spokesman for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement that Apollos had been on the wanted list of the Abia State Command of the agency since February following the arrest of one Chima Ukeleonu, the suspect behind the viral video in January showing a young man hawking illicit drugs on the street.
