A 64-year-old grandfather, Daniel Idemudia, has been
arrested in Benin, by the Edo State Command of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), in connection with the discovery of substance
suspected to be cannabis sativa in a warehouse where the old man resides.
The State Commander of NDLEA, Mr. Buba Wakawa, said a total
of 5,650 kgs of dried weeds suspected to be the banned substance, were found in
two warehouses. The first warehouse is a residential house located behind
Tipper Garage, Egor, Egor Local Government Area, where 280 sacks of the dried
weeds weighing 4,200 kg while the second warehouse is located at Ugwella-Gidi
village, Ovia South West Local Government Area, where 245 sacks of dried weeds
weighing 1,450 kgs were recovered.
According to Wakawa, the exhibits at the Egor warehouse were
hidden inside the ceiling of a bungalow, where a 64-year-old grandfather,
Daniel Idemudia who resides in the warehouse was arrested.
“We were shocked to discover 280 sacks of dried weeds
suspected to be cannabis sativa all hidden inside the ceiling of the building.
This discovery will serve as a warning to others that their warehouses will be
discovered and the drugs seized,” he said.
When interrogated, the old man who gave his name as Pa
Daniel Idemudia, admitted knowledge of the exhibits found inside ceiling in his
house.
“A friend of mine kept the cannabis inside the ceiling of my
house. The house was built by my son who resides in Europe. He promised to
handsomely reward me after selling the drugs,” he said.
Is he the only one?
What about those who sell Kwale Igboh to women who add same to hair cream?
Scapegoatism.
