Just days after celebrating her lavish 60th birthday party, prominent Nigerian ๐ณ๐ฌ socialite and businesswoman Funmilola Arike Ogbuaya, popularly known as "Ariket", has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for masterminding a major cocaine trafficking ring.
The owner of D Square Event Centre and Zu-Ket Homes was convicted by a Lagos Federal High Court after a multi-year trial. It follows the 2017 airport arrest of her drug courier, who confessed that Ariket provided her with 1.595 kg of cocaine bound for Saudi Arabia.
The NDLEA has already uncovered billions of Naira in assets and landed properties linked to her across ๐ณ๐ฌLagos, ๐ณ๐ฌOgun, and ๐ณ๐ฌOsun states.
