101-year-old woman released on age grounds after being arrested for selling cannabis in Ogun
A 101-year-old woman, Esther Ogunmabo, has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for allegedly selling cannabis in Ilisan, Ogun State.
The centenarian was apprehended on Saturday, August 15, 2026, with 90 grammes of skunk, a form of cannabis, which was reportedly packaged in small quantities for sale.
According to the NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, Ogunmabo admitted that she sold the substance to people in the community and she became involved in the illicit trade after a fire destroyed her provisions store.
“She said one of her daughters, who resides in Lagos, arranges the supply of the substance to her every four days, which she in turn sold in bits,” the NDLEA spokesman said.
Following the development, the NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retd.), directed that the elderly suspect be granted bail and referred for counselling because of her age.
The agency also disclosed that the daughter allegedly linked to the supply of the cannabis had been arrested.
