As of mid-April 2025, Nigerian entrepreneur and influencer Samuel Onuha remains in detention in Dubai following his February arrest over alleged involvement in a major drug smuggling case.
Samuel and his brother, Reuben Onuha, were arrested on February 10, 2025, at their residence in Palm Jumeirah. Dubai authorities claim the brothers were connected to an attempt to smuggle 250 kilograms of illegal substances into the United Arab Emirates—a charge that has since sparked widespread controversy and social media attention.
Known for flaunting a luxury lifestyle and linked to the fashion label Icon, the Onuha brothers’ high-profile arrest has drawn attention from international media and online platforms. Although some individuals connected to the case have reportedly been released, both Samuel and Reuben remain in custody as the investigation continues.
Currently, there is no confirmed release date or official statement about the progress of their trial. Dubai authorities have yet to disclose full details of the charges or timeline for legal proceedings.
Social media continues to buzz with speculation, but the situation remains unclear. Until further updates emerge from official sources, Samuel Onuha’s legal fate is still hanging in the balance.
