Rapper CDQ Granted Bail, Still Undergoing Investigation – NDLEA

Popular Nigerian rap artiste, CDQ, has been granted bail by the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA), although he is still under investigation.

On Wednesday night, men of the NDLEA arrested Sodiq Yusuf, popularly known as CDQ, in his Lekki apartment.
He was said to have been arrested by the anti-drug enforcement agency for allegedly violating the drug law after an intelligence report which the agency got to know about.

NDLEA’s Director, Media, and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi has confirmed his arrest, while revealing that the case was still being investigated as some drug substance known as ‘loud’; a cannabis variant, was found in the rapper’s house.

Babafemi stated, “Yes, CDQ was arrested in his house at Lekki for being in possession of cannabis. He was arrested based on intelligence. As of last night, he was granted administrative bail, but he is expected back into custody today because it is an ongoing investigation.

“Some substances were found and he mentioned some names of some other big artistes. So, it is an ongoing investigation.”

The spokesman disclosed that the outcome of the investigation would determine if the rapper would be charged to court or counselled by the agency.

According to him, “The outcome of the investigation would determine what would happen. There are cases whereby the investigation shows some sufficient infractions, and then the case will go to court. There are other cases whereby if the quantity is insignificant, we will bring him in for counselling and possible rehabilitation. Those are likely scenarios that will happen.”

CDQ, in a post on his verified Instagram page hinted that someone was trying to set him up.
He wrote, “No sleep for the wicked. Iyalaya yin o ni sun for dis Lagos… They tryna set me up today but Olohun wa.”
