An 83-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Uloma Uchechi Sunday, has again been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with consignments of Methamphetamine and Colorado concealed around her waist, barely a year after she was nabbed, prosecuted and convicted for the same offence.

The octogenarian was arrested on Wednesday, October 7th at her home in Ite-Uzo, Umuaguma, Obingwa LGA, Abia State, with quantities of Methamphetamine and Colorado tied to her waist with a wrapper. Her re-arrest followed credible intelligence indicating that she runs a notorious drug joint that harbours criminal elements who terrorise the community.

A statement from Femi Babafemi, spokesprson of the NDLEA, says Uloma’s first encounter with the law was on 17th May 2025 when she was arrested by NDLEA operatives at her residence in the same village alongside her daughter, Chisom Uchechi, 32, with 50 grams of methamphetamine, 522 grams of skunk, 260 grams of fresh cannabis leaves and 12 grams of tramadol. Both pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment or a fine of N200,000 each. They paid the fine and were released by the court.

‘’Undeterred, the notorious old woman promptly returned to the criminal trade and escalated the scale by setting up a drug joint where she harbours dangerous characters.’’

Babafemi mentioned that at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, Rivers state, NDLEA operatives, working in synergy with Customs Service, arrested a South African lady, Gebashe Sithandiwe Jessie, with 30 parcels of Thai Loud, a specie of cannabis, weighing 32.74 kilograms, concealed in two travelling bags.

He said the suspect had travelled from Thailand via Doha aboard Qatar Airways flight QR1431. He mentioned that the suspect confessed to having previously trafficked through other African countries and was expanding her route to Port Harcourt when she was caught.

A Nigerian Bolt and inDrive driver has gone viral after sharing a prayer he says before starting work, asking God for safety, good earnings and the ability to provide for his wife and children.

In the video, the driver prayed for a safe and successful day, with enough money to pay his children’s school fees and take care of his family.

He also prayed for higher fares, mentioning the amounts he wanted drivers to charge for trips between different locations in Lagos, including Sango-Tedo, Lekki, the airport and Ikeja.

The driver complained about rising fuel costs, asking God not to let drivers bear the burden alone. He also prayed for Nigerians to protest and reclaim the country from its leaders.

He then turned his prayers to customers who cancel rides after requesting them, asking God to punish them and jokingly calling for thunder to strike those who cancel trips worth ₦1,400.

Media personality Nedu has criticised the Nigerian government over the country’s worsening economic situation, questioning how much an average Nigerian needs to earn to live comfortably.

In a video shared online, Nedu asked whether earning ₦100,000 or ₦200,000 monthly was enough to meet basic needs amid rising transportation costs and the increasing price of goods and services.

He expressed concern that the cost of living continues to rise while many Nigerians struggle to earn enough to cover their expenses.

Nedu also claimed that less than two per cent of Nigerians earn up to ₦200,000 monthly, highlighting the financial pressure facing workers.
