A video has emerged showing a suspected drug baron, Tony Chidi Onwurolu, who was declared wanted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) spraying dollars on a man of God as if it is water.
Recal TheNewsGuru had earlier published a report detailing how Onwurolu was declared wanted for a consignment of 26.15 kilogrammes of heroin with a street value of over N6.5 billion intercepted at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
In the new video, the suspected drug baron could be seen spraying what many believe are millions of dollars on a pastor inside a church.

Femi Babafemi, the agency’s spokesperson, said in a statement Sunday that the seizure was made at the Skyway Aviation Handling Company Plc (SAHCO) shed of the Lagos airport.
According to him, the illicit drug had arrived in Lagos in 25 parcels from South Africa through an Air Peace Airline flight on June 30.
He said it was, however, detained for screening following reasonable suspicion of the content of the consignment.
“A follow up operation was subsequently carried out the following day, 1st July when narcotic officers of the MMIA command trailed the driver and a clearing agent that were assigned to deliver the consignment.
“Investigation revealed that they were to deliver to the house of a baron, Tony Chidi Onwurolu at No. 132 Lateef Adegboyega Street, off Ago Palace Way by Grandmate bus stop Okota, Lagos.
“During the follow-up operation, Tony Chidi Onwurolu, who obviously mounted a counter-surveillance around his neighbourhood, fled his home before the arrival of the team of operatives who stormed his residence.
“They were, however, able to search his home and recovered a number of documents to establish his true identity,” he said.
