Babafemi disclosed that the rap star was nabbed after a variant of cannabis known as ‘loud’ was found in his apartment.
The director was quoted to have 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.”

He said:
"I can't tell if a hand was placed on him but one of the operatives pushed him to the ground in order to get access into his apartment. Immediately this happened all I could hear was sound slaps and aggressive shouts (clearly we know its not cdq slapping them).
"I don't know if someone came to intercede but cdq was trying to make a call to his friends cause I recall him saying he was home alone."
