Controversy

According to reports, the Prophetess was the recruiter, using her church to find and prepare young girls for the cartel.
November 2022 marked the start of the probe. At the Lagos airport, NDLEA agents found 32.70 kg of “loud,” a potent cannabis strain, hidden in used clothing cartons.
The first person arrested was a freight agent. There were four more suspects after that. Then, from a rented duplex in Lekki, where the gang kept young girls used for marketing and distributing illegal substances, two teenage girls, one of whom was just fifteen years old, were hauled up.
One detained suspect admitted to working for Igho and his spouse, identifying them as the general leaders of the criminal organization.
Igho and Danielle sent a lawyer to request an alternate date after receiving invitation letters from the NDLEA. After that, they stopped communicating.
A court order was obtained by the agency to confiscate properties, including a petrol station in Lagos and Port Harcourt, and to freeze N80 million linked to their company, Lasgidi Backwood Ltd. Officially, Igho Ubiribo and his spouse were listed as sought. They disappeared. Igho Ubiribo married Danielle Simba Allen, a fashion designer and socialite. The pair married in Zimbabwe in 2022 in a ceremony estimated to cost around $473,000.
Allen was with Ubiribo on their Thailand vacation and was present when he felt ill following the treatment.
According to evidence presented at the inquest, she informed doctors about the filler injections after he was transported to the hospital.
TMZ also alleged that the pair was staying at a Marriott hotel in Bangkok. Ubiribo was also known as Tiny, Denisi, and Ego.
