Edo NDLEA nabs AAU student for selling Colorado tramadol in Ekpoma

Drug agents caught a college student selling illegal substances at a local shop. Esther Abumere studies at Ambrose Alli University and had reached her third year of classes. The 28-year-old woman was arrested on June 19 when officers raided the supermarket where she worked. Officials from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency found her selling dangerous drugs to customers. The arrest happened around five o'clock during the evening hours.

State Commander Mitchell Ofoyeju talked about the case during a special meeting with reporters. He explained that agents discovered many different types of harmful substances at the store location. The supermarket was immediately shut down after the raid took place. Ofoyeju said this action sends a strong message to other people who might consider selling drugs. The commander believes catching criminals helps protect young people living near the university campus.

Abumere comes from Uromi and told officers why she started her illegal business activities. She needed money to pay back a loan she had taken from a small bank. The student thought selling drugs would help her earn enough cash quickly. Officers found Colorado, tramadol, and several other dangerous substances during their search. The entire supermarket building was sealed off as evidence for the ongoing case.

The arrest happened during events marking the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Ofoyeju asked community members to help fight drug crimes around their neighborhoods. He wants people to report suspicious activities to his agency when they notice something wrong. The commander praised his team for their hard work and dedication. He believes their efforts will continue making the area safer for everyone.
