The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 101-year-old woman, identified as Esther Ogunmabo, in Ilisan, Ogun State, for selling illicit drugs. According to the agency, Ogunmabo was apprehended with retail sachets of skunk, a form of cannabis, weighing 90 grammes. She claimed that she sells the substance to locals to make ends meet, stating that her daughter, who lives in Lagos, supplies her with the drug every four days.
The NDLEA's spokesman, Femi Babafemi, informed that due to her advanced age, Ogunmabo has been granted bail and placed under counseling. In a separate operation in Akwa Ibom State, the agency intercepted a wooden boat carrying illicit drugs to fishing settlements in the Republic of Cameroon. The suspects arrested aboard the vessel included three individuals who were found with significant amounts of skunk and cocaine.
