Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrests 101-year-old Esther Ogunmabo for allegedly selling cannabis. Prosecutors and investigators say she is accused of distributing “retail sachets” of a cannabis strain described as “skunk.” The reporting centers on her age and the specific form of the alleged drugs—small sachets—rather than any broader claims about the operation.
Outlet coverage frames the case similarly, citing the NDLEA arrest and focusing on the alleged drug type and packaging. The Independent identifies Ogunmabo by name and describes the accusation as selling drugs in sachets, while the Eritrea Profile also describes her as a “101-year-old great-grandmother” and repeats that she is accused of selling cannabis “sachets” of the skunk variety. Both sources present the arrest as the central development, with no additional, differing details about the evidence, investigation steps, or legal proceedings beyond the suspicion of selling the drugs.
