Babafemi said, “Yes, CDQ was arrested in his house at Lekki for being in possession of cannabis. He was arrested based on intelligence. As of last night, he was granted administrative bail, but he is expected back into custody today because it is an ongoing investigation.

Some substances were found and he mentioned some names of some other big artistes. So, it is an ongoing investigation. The outcome of the investigation would determine what would happen. There are cases whereby the investigation shows some sufficient infractions, and then the case will go to court. There are other cases whereby if the quantity is insignificant, we will bring him in for counselling and possible rehabilitation. Those are likely scenarios that will happen”, he told The Punch.

Meanwhile, CDQ took to his official Instagram page on Wednesday, he claimed that some unidentified individuals were trying to frame him but God intervened on his behalf.
