Nigerian comedian and digital content creator Officer Woos, whose real name is Oladapo Jubril Gbadamosi, has officially denied allegations of drug trafficking that recently went viral on social media. The false claims suggested he was arrested by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) for importing cocaine-infused bread and brownies from Mexico. These reports, which gained widespread attention, falsely stated that Officer Woos had shifted focus from content creation in 2025 to run a high-end bakery business, selling loaves for up to $500 and operating through a reservation-only system.
The rumors were fueled by a post shared by an Instagram user known as “Grandpa,” who claimed that the comedian’s bakery operations had attracted the attention of authorities. The post included a fabricated statement: “NAFDAC arrests popular Nigerian content creator Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, popularly known as Officer Woos, for importing a huge number of cocaine-mixed bread and brownies from Mexico.” This misleading information quickly spread across various social media platforms, sparking confusion and concern among fans and followers.
In response, Officer Woos took to his social media platforms to issue a formal denial. He shared a statement through his legal representatives, emphasizing that the allegations were entirely false, fabricated, and without any basis. He confirmed that he has engaged Versed Attorneys (@versedattorneys) to handle the matter legally. “An official statement regarding the false and defamatory publications currently circulating about me,” he wrote. “The claims are entirely false, fabricated, and without basis. Full statement attached. This will be handled through the appropriate legal channels. Thank you for your understanding.”
The comedian’s swift response was met with support from his followers, many of whom praised him for addressing the rumors promptly. Comments on his post reflected relief and criticism of the sources spreading the false news. Some users expressed concern over the spread of misinformation, while others mocked the absurdity of the claims. One follower wrote, “Rumor Dey spread like wide fire indeed…. Glad you made this press statement ASAP.” Another added, “Good job because some blogs like fake news a lot.”
As social media continues to amplify unverified claims, Officer Woos’ case highlights the importance of fact-checking before sharing information. The comedian remains active in the entertainment space, and his legal team is expected to take further action against those responsible for the false reports. This incident serves as a reminder of the impact of misinformation in the digital age, especially for public figures.
