Mohammed Abdul Bakye, aged 45, was sentenced to 15 years for leading a significant heroin and crack cocaine operation in London, marked by his unique method of disguise as an Uber driver. Bakye's gang, known as 'Green Eyes' due to his notable eye color, instilled fear in street dealers, including minors, while using them for distribution. Police raids uncovered over £45,000 worth of illegal drugs and weapons. Detective Constable Jared Fortune highlighted Bakye's strategic approach to marketing his operation, which contributed to its success before law enforcement intervened after a two-year investigation.
By naming the drug line 'Green Eyes', it's not just narcissism. For Bakye, it's good marketing because the customer base is in no doubt who is running the line.
Bakye was the head of a violent and exploitative gang which used children and vulnerable people to deal the most destructive of substances, crack and heroin.
He was really disciplined in terms of switching cars every three or four weeks and would put an Uber sticker in the front.
More than £45,000 worth of class A drugs, a sawn-off shotgun and a silencer were found in a locked digital safe during a police raid.
