NDLEA nabs nursing mom for drug trafficking

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has rearrested a nursing mother, Mariam Adetilewa Dirisu, has been arrested again for trafficking drugs, barely weeks after she was released.

According to a statement issued by NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, Dirisu was caught by operatives for trafficking 5kg of skunk and 8.1g of molly.

Babafemi said Dirisu claims to be a part-time 400-level student of International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of Benin.

The 35-year-old mother of a two month-old-baby was first arrested on October 21, 2021 by the Edo State Command for allegedly smuggling cannabis in fufu, a local staple, to the suspect.

NDLEA chair Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Marwa (Retd), that day, directed that she be counselled and released immediately because of her young baby.

“Curiously, a controlled delivery operation carried out by operatives of the Delta State Command of the Agency on Saturday 30th October again led to the arrest of Mariam who had ordered for the drugs from Lagos even while still on bail for an earlier offence,” Babafemi said.
