Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, the Nigerian content creator better known professionally as Officer Woos, has addressed viral rumours that falsely claim he was arrested on drug-trafficking charges.
The rumours alleged that the National Agency for Food and
Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) arrested Officer Woos in 2025 for
importing a substantial quantity of bread and brownies laced with cocaine from
Mexico.

In a statement released via Instagram on Friday by Versed Attorneys, his legal
counsel, Gbadamosi, denied the allegations, describing them as “entirely false,
fabricated, and without any basis whatsoever”.
The statement stated that the skit maker has never been
arrested, investigated, or charged in connection with any drug-related offence,
nor has he ever posted about the death of any associate on his platforms.
His legal team also characterised the publications as a
deliberate and malicious campaign to misinform the public and damage his
reputation.
Citing Nigerian defamation law, the Cybercrimes
(Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, and the Criminal Code, the law firm
demanded an immediate and unconditional retraction and a public apology from
all responsible parties within 48 hours.
Gbadamosi also 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 publish
or amplify the false claims.
He urged the public to rely solely on verified information
from his official channels and his legal representatives.
In post accompanying the statement, Officer Woos wrote: “The
claims are entirely false, fabricated, and without basis. This will be handled
through the appropriate legal channels. Thank you for your understanding”.
Read the full statement below:
We act as Solicitors to Mr. Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi
alias “Officer Woos” (“our Client”), a respected content creator and public
figure; and write this statement on his behalf in response to coordinated
campaign of false, malicious, and defamatory publications currently circulating
on social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter).
It has come to our Client’s attention that certain
unverified and anonymous social media pages have published claims alleging
that:
i. Our Client has been under arrest since 2025 in
connection with allegations of drug trafficking and;
ii. Our Client publicly announced the death of a close
colleague on his official page.
We hereby unequivocally state that both claims are
entirely false, fabricated, and without any basis whatsoever. 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.
Also, our Client has never announced the death of any colleague, friend, or
associate on any of his platforms. These publications are entirely manufactured
and constitute a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and damage our Client’s
hard-earned reputation, brand, and professional standing.
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 (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, as amended and the
Criminal code. The deliberate and malicious fabrication of criminal allegations
against a person, without any factual basis, is a particularly egregious form
of defamation capable of attracting substantial consequences under the law.
Our Client categorically denies the said publications in
their entirety and demands an immediate and unconditional retraction from all
pages, handles, and individuals responsible for the publication and circulation
of these false statements. Our Client further demands that a public apology be
issued on the same platforms on which the defamatory statements were published,
within forty-eight (48) hours from the date of this statement.
We have the instructions of our Client to take all
necessary legal actions, without further recourse to any party, against the
original publishers of these statements and any individual, page, or platform
that continues to publish, repost, or amplify these or similarly false and
defamatory claims. These include, but are not limited to, civil proceedings for
damages for defamation, as well as a formal petition to the relevant law
enforcement authorities and regulatory bodies pursuant to the Cybercrimes (Prohibition,
Prevention, Etc.) Act, as amended.
We urge members of the public, the media, and our
Client’s audience to disregard these publications entirely and to rely only on
verified information from our Client’s official channels and this Firm.
