The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has made several arrests across Nigeria in recent days. In Ogun State, a 101-year-old woman named Esther Ogunmabo was apprehended along with retail sachets of cannabis, weighing 90 grams. Ogunmabo claimed she sold the substance to locals after her provisions shop was destroyed by fire.
Her daughter, who lives in Lagos, allegedly supplied her with the drugs every four days. The NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the centenarian was granted bail and placed on counseling due to her age, while her daughter was arrested. In Akwa Ibom State, three individuals were arrested on a boat transporting cannabis to Cameroon.
The NDLEA also intercepted two containers of cannabis indica at Nigerian ports, originating from Thailand, indicating a new trafficking route. Additionally, the agency rescued skunk crops in Ondo State and arrested several individuals involved in the distribution and cultivation of illicit drugs in various locations across the country.
