NDLEA arrests four female drug dealers in Edo, Imo

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested four notorious female drug dealers in Edo and Imo states.

The Director of  Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Mr Femi Babafemi, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

Giving a break down, Babafemi said that in Edo State, an intense sweep of notorious drug hotspots within Benin City by NDLEA operatives on June 2, led to the arrest of four key traffickers, including three females.

“At Uyosa, Benin City, two female suspects, Chioma Igba (24) and Precious Ozomah (22), were nabbed with a cocktail of illicit substances including 176 grams of skunk, 65 grams of Loud, and 5 grams of Methamphetamine.

“Along Agbor road in Benin City, another female suspect, 21-year-old Anita Abraham, was apprehended with 95 grams of Scottish Loud and 329 grams of regular Loud,” the statement said.

In Imo State, NDLEA officers successfully raided a known drug enclave at Umulolo, Orlu. The raid resulted in the arrest of a notorious female dealer, 32-year-old Chioma Okeke, and the recovery of 8 kilograms of skunk.

Reacting to the string of successful operations, the NDLEA Chairman, retired, Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa commended the officers, men and women of the agency for their resilience and vigilance.

Marwa re-emphasised that the agency remains fully committed to dismantling drug supply chains and would continue to target traffickers regardless of age, gender, or concealment methods.
