Nigerian comedian and content creator Officer Woos has shut down viral allegations claiming he was arrested over drug transportation.
The skit maker, whose real name is Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, reported to have been arrested by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) over the supposed importation of hard drug-laced pastries from Mexico.
The claims suggested that the comedian was linked to a serious drug-related case involving bread and brownies allegedly infused with illicit substances.

Reacting to the rumours, his legal representatives have dismissed the reports as completely false and malicious.
According to a statement released by his lawyers, Officer Woos has never been arrested, investigated, or charged over any drug-related matter.
The legal team further clarified that the allegations were fabricated and designed to damage his public image and career.
They described the publication as a deliberate misinformation campaign, stressing that it violates provisions of Nigerian defamation laws as well as the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act and the Criminal Code.
The lawyers demanded an immediate retraction of the reports and a public apology from all individuals or platforms responsible for spreading the claims.
They also set a 48-hour deadline for compliance, warning that failure to do so would lead to legal consequences.
The statement also revealed that Gbadamosi has authorised his legal team to pursue civil action against those behind the viral story.
This includes claims for damages and formal petitions to law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to address the spread of false information.
The team warned that any continued circulation of the allegations would be met with legal action, as they insisted on protecting his reputation.
Taking to his page alongside the official statement, the comedian himself addressed the situation briefly, maintaining his innocence.
“The claims are entirely false, fabricated, and without basis. This will be handled through the appropriate legal channels. Thank you for your understanding,” he wrote.
