Popular Nigerian content creator Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, known professionally as Officer Woos, has vehemently denied viral claims that he was arrested by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for alleged drug trafficking. Through his legal counsel, Versed Attorneys, the skit maker has threatened a lawsuit against those spreading the defamatory rumours.
Legal Team Denies Allegations
In a statement issued on June 20, 2026, Versed Attorneys described the reports as “entirely false, fabricated, and without any basis whatsoever.” The law firm stated that Gbadamosi has never been arrested, investigated, or charged in connection with any drug-related offence. “Our Client has never been arrested, investigated, charged, or in any way connected to allegations of drug trafficking, at any point in 2025 or at any other time,” the statement read.
The controversy began after a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that NAFDAC arrested Officer Woos in 2025 for importing a substantial quantity of bread and brownies laced with cocaine from Mexico. The post, shared by a user named GRANDPA??, included a screenshot purporting to show a news headline.
Demand for Retraction and Apology
Officer Woos’s legal team is demanding an immediate and unconditional retraction and a public apology from all responsible parties within 48 hours. The statement cited Nigerian defamation law, the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, and the Criminal Code, warning that legal action will be taken against anyone who continues to publish or circulate the claims. “The publication of false statements that injure the reputation of an individual constitutes defamation under Nigerian law, actionable both in tort and, where applicable, under the relevant provisions of the Cybercrimes Act and the Criminal Code,” the lawyers said.
Gbadamosi has authorised his lawyers to pursue civil proceedings for damages and file formal petitions with law enforcement and regulatory bodies against any individual or platform that continues to amplify the false claims. The legal team characterised the publications as a “deliberate and malicious campaign to misinform the public and damage our Client’s hard-earned reputation, brand, and professional standing.”
Background and Fallout
The false allegations claimed that Officer Woos stopped creating content in 2025 to venture into a bread business that allegedly involved cocaine-laced products. The rumours also falsely stated that he had announced the death of a close colleague on his official page. The legal statement clarified that “our Client has never announced the death of any colleague, friend, or associate on any of his platforms.”
Officer Woos, known for his comedic skits, has a substantial following on social media. The defamatory posts have caused widespread concern among his fans, prompting the swift legal response. The law firm urged the public to disregard the false information and rely only on verified updates from Officer Woos’s official channels or their firm.
