The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Etche Area Command of Rivers State on Wednesday said it conducted a search operation at Obunku community in Oyigbo LGA of the state and arrested one Celina Ekeke, a drug dealer in the area.

Spokesman of the state NDLEA, Emmanuel Ogbumgbada said that the suspect is a notorious female drug dealer who was arrested with 24 sacks of cannabis sativa weighing 231.2kg.

He said she had been on the watch list of the agency for sometime now as she uses her deformed legs to disguise and sell illicit drugs.

“She is presently undergoing investigation at the Rivers State Command headquarters.

“We also want to use this medium to call on the public to give us credible information that will enable us sanitize the society of hard drugs, while we call on drug users to seek help now before it is too late,” the spokesman said.
