The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has detained Onyinye Nwoke, an Abuja businesswoman, for cultivating and selling cannabis.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement on Sunday, September 4, that the 38-year-old woman was arrested following an intelligence-led operation at her residence, House 56 Aldenco Estate, Galadimawa, FCT.
Babafemi claims that operatives pulled up brand-new cannabis plant stems that were growing in the home’s backyard.
The spokesperson said, “The uprooted plants weighed 18.4kgs while 800grams of cannabis seeds were also recovered from the house.”
