Nigerian skit maker, Officer Woos denies viral NAFDAC arrest claims for drug trafficking, threatens lawsuit against those spreading false rumours about cocaine-laced bread from Mexico.
Imagine waking up to headlines announcing your arrest for cocaine trafficking, and none of it is true.
That is exactly the situation Nigerian content creator Officer Woos, whose real name is Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, found himself in this week. A post spreading rapidly across X alleged that NAFDAC had arrested him in 2025 for importing cocaine-laced bread and brownies from Mexico. The story moved fast. Very fast. And his team is not taking it lightly.
The rumour originated from an anonymous account on X, which claimed Officer Woos quietly stepped back from content creation in 2025 to run a baked goods business, one supposedly used to smuggle cocaine hidden inside bread and brownies imported from Mexico.
It sounds outlandish. But on social media, outlandish travels further than the truth.
The post gained traction quickly, with many users sharing it before anyone stopped to verify a single detail.
Officer Woos wasted no time. His legal team, Versed Attorneys, released a strongly worded statement making their position crystal clear: every claim in that viral post is false.
According to the statement, Officer Woos has never been arrested, questioned, or linked to any drug-related matter, not in 2025, not at any other point. The firm also denied a second claim embedded in the rumour: that he had announced the passing of a close associate on his social media pages.
That, too, never happened.
His lawyers described the posts as a coordinated, deliberate effort to destroy his public image and professional standing.
This incident is a stark reminder of how quickly misinformation can devastate someone’s reputation. Officer Woos built his brand through comedy skits that resonated with everyday Nigerians. One anonymous post nearly buried all of that.
Don't MIss This Gist
Nigerian influencers and creators are increasingly becoming targets of this kind of reputational attack, sometimes by rivals, sometimes by trolls seeking attention. The fact that his legal team responded with speed and legal precision sends a message: there are consequences for weaponising social media against public figures.
