Following intelligence and surveillance, narcotic officers of the Edo State Command on Saturday, June 19, 2021, stormed her operational base at 1 winners way, Auchi, where she was arrested.
The NDLEA operatives also recovered at least 94 pieces of cookies produced with Cannabis Sativa from her base.
