NDLEA Rearrests 83-Year-Old Woman Over Drugs

NDLEA said intelligence linked her to a drug joint where criminal groups gathered, and officers recovered methamphetamine and Colorado hidden around her waist.

  • On Wednesday, October 7, NDLEA operatives rearrested 83-year-old Uloma Uchechi Sunday at her Ite-Uzo, Abia State residence with methamphetamine and Colorado consignments, barely a year after her previous conviction for drug offenses.
  • Intelligence reports alleged Uloma operated a drug joint patronized by criminal elements; she and her 32-year-old daughter, Chisom Uchechi, were previously arrested at the same residence on May 17, 2025.
  • At Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, officers intercepted 354,000 Tapentadol tablets from Pakistan and 70 parcels of Colorado weighing 75.90kg in consolidated cargo from the United Kingdom.
  • Operatives across Nigeria also seized 1,100kg of cannabis in Cross River State and 702.83kg of compressed cannabis intercepted in Edo State on Monday, October 5.
  • NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa commended officers for their "professionalism and intelligence-driven approach" while the agency sustained its War Against Drug Abuse sensitization campaign across schools and communities.
