The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a professional basketball player, 28-year-old American citizen Greene Da’monte Khiree, over the alleged importation of 33.95 kilogrammes of Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The suspect arrived in Lagos aboard an Emirates flight from Thailand via Dubai. He allegedly left his two checked-in bags behind and tried to exit the airport with only his carry-on luggage, but was picked up at the airport car park after operatives placed him under surveillance.

A search of the abandoned bags, which carried his name tags, led to the recovery of 32 parcels of Loud weighing 33.95kg. A tracking device was also found in the luggage.

Khiree, a native of Savannah, Georgia, reportedly told investigators that he had lived in Thailand since October 2025, where he plays professional basketball. He said he travelled to Nigeria on holiday to build networks for his basketball career.

However, a forensic examination of his mobile phone allegedly turned up information linking him to the drug trafficking operation.

A Louisiana judge has sentenced former police officer Kedreyon K. Williams to life in prison and ordered him to undergo chemical castration following his conviction on multiple charges involving children.

Williams, 31, who also served as a volunteer firefighter, was found guilty of defilement of minors, indecent behaviour with a minor and possession of child abuse material. The jury deliberated for about 30 minutes before finding him guilty on all counts.

Prosecutors argued that the defilement conviction carried a mandatory life sentence and asked the court to impose castration as an additional penalty. Tony Clayton, the district attorney for Louisiana’s 18th Judicial District, described Williams as a “child predator” and called chemical castration “another layer of punishment for these horrendous crimes”.

District Judge Kevin Kimball imposed the life sentence and ordered chemical castration. At sentencing, Kimball described the case as the worst involving the defilement of a child that he had seen.
