According to the agency, the centenarian told operatives that she had resorted to selling illicit drugs after her provisions shop was destroyed by fire.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 101-year-old woman, Esther Ogunmabo, for allegedly dealing in cannabis in Ilisan, Ogun State, while operatives also intercepted cocaine concealed in edible cassava flour popularly known as fufu in Akwa Ibom State.
NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, saying Ogunmabo was arrested on Saturday, August 15, with 90 grammes of skunk, a strain of cannabis, packaged in retail sachets.
According to the agency, the centenarian told operatives that she had resorted to selling illicit drugs after her provisions shop was destroyed by fire.
She reportedly said one of her daughters, who lives in Lagos, supplied the cannabis to her every four days, which she then sold in small quantities to locals.
