Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrests a 101-year-old woman, Ogunmabo, over alleged cannabis sales in Ogun State, according to reports from Vanguard and Premium Times. NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi says Ogunmabo admits selling the substance to people in her community.
Premium Times adds context on how the woman explains her involvement. It reports that she tells NDLEA operatives she entered the drug trade after a fire destroyed her provisions shop. Both outlets report the arrest and the allegation of selling cannabis, citing NDLEA officials and the woman’s statements to investigators.
The accounts differ mainly in the emphasis of context and detail: Vanguard focuses on the alleged admissions about where and to whom she sold the drugs, while Premium Times highlights the reason she gave for turning to drug trading after the shop fire. Neither report indicates a conviction, only that the matter is at the arrest and investigation stage.
