An octogenarian,
Madam Comfort Izeomwen, 80, has been arrested and paraded along with her alleged accomplice, Stella
Omobude, 48, who was caught with 32 live cartridges by the Edo State Police
Command.
Edo State
Police Commissioner, Chris Ezike, who paraded the suspects along with 71 other
suspects, said based on credible information, operatives/tactical units of the
command raided Evbueren village, along Benin/Auchi road, where Stella was
arrested.
Her confessions
led to the arrest of the octogenarian at Ekae village, Benin City, with 68 live
cartridges recovered from her.
Speaking
with journalists at the command headquarters, the octogenarian suspect
confessed that she sold each cartridge to her customers at the rate of N250.
“I sell to
them at N250, but I don’t know what they do with it. That is what I do for a
living,” she confessed.
NB: The
question is who is her customers and suppliers?
