Amos Oluremi Nureni, 43, was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 10 years in prison and four years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and possessing a firearm to further a drug trafficking operation. Authorities said Nureni sold nearly 100 grams of fentanyl—roughly 866 pills—to an undercover officer during a months-long investigation. The counterfeit pills, marked “M30,” resembled legitimate oxycodone tablets but were confirmed by lab tests to contain fentanyl, a synthetic opioid significantly more potent and deadly than heroin.
In March 2024, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Nureni’s home, where they discovered a loaded pistol with an obliterated serial number, as well as drug manufacturing tools including hydraulic presses and a digital scale. Additional illegal substances—including cocaine, methamphetamine, and dipentylone—were also seized from the residence, suggesting Nureni was actively involved in large-scale drug production and distribution.

This sentencing follows months of coordinated work by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Montgomery County Police Department. Officials say this case serves as a warning to others distributing fentanyl in Maryland and underscores the risks posed by counterfeit pills circulating in local communities. Residents are urged to avoid any medication not obtained from a verified pharmacy and to report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
