A 101-year-old woman, Esther Ogunmabo, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for allegedly selling cannabis in Ilisan, Ogun State.
The centenarian was apprehended on Saturday, August 15, 2026, with 90 grammes of skunk, a form of cannabis, which was reportedly packaged in small quantities for sale.
According to the NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, Ogunmabo admitted that she sold the substance to people in the community.
Babafemi said the suspect told investigators that she became involved in the illicit trade after a fire destroyed her provisions store.
He added that the woman claimed one of her daughters, based in Lagos, was responsible for supplying her with the cannabis at regular intervals.
