Led by ringleaders Obi Oko and Zughame Nyaba, the crew ran seven separate drug lines, with key members like Morgan Pilsbury, Keiran Hopper, and Jesin Adutwum acting as runners and drivers. The December 12th bust at a Leicester home netted the bosses, phones, nearly $10,000 in cash, and drugs worth $20,000. Operation Terrain, which also uncovered linked criminal networks, led to seven guilty pleas. Sentences ranged from suspended community service to over seven years — with Oko and Nyaba receiving the harshest penalties. Detectives hailed the takedown as a major victory against organized crime, emphasizing that exploitation and intimidation will no longer be tolerated.
