An 84-year-old grandpa, Godfrey Orji and a 75-year-old Godwin Obulunbiya Obiora are now cooling their heels in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) following their arrest for allegedly dealing in illicit substances, which they sell to teenage secondary school students in Umuahia, Abia state capital.

Pa Obiora was arrested by NDLEA operatives on Friday, 19th June 2026, following credible intelligence that he was allegedly selling illicit substances to young students and others in his patent medicine store located at 4 Club road, Umuahia, where 4.64 kilograms of opioids, including tramadol and diazepam were recovered from him during a search of his premises.

In his case, Pa Orji, who is a pensioner and also into the illicit drug trade, was nabbed by security guards at Saint Silas Secondary School, Old Umuahia, for allegedly supplying illicit drugs to two teenage students (names withheld) in the school. The guards thereafter handed them over to the police, who in turn transferred them to NDLEA on Thursday, 18th June.

According to NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, one of the two teenagers, a 15-year-old SS2 student, claimed the 84-year-old grandpa supplies him with the drugs, which he takes and also sells to fellow students.

Babafemi said while the two grandpas are billed to have their day in court, the students have been placed on counselling and rehabilitation.
