The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has recently arrested a 101-year-old great-grandmother, Esther Ogunmabo, in Ilisan, Ogun State, for allegedly dealing in cannabis. The agency intercepted 90 grams of skunk packaged in retail sachets, which were reportedly sold by her to locals after her provisions shop was destroyed by fire.
Despite her advanced age, Ogunmabo was granted bail and placed on counselling, while her daughter, who allegedly supplied the drug to her daughter every four days, was arrested. This incident is part of a series of recent operations by the NDLEA involving older Nigerians allegedly linked to the illicit drug trade.
