“He told me that he was an ex-convict that deals in ‘Igbo’, business. He told me to join him to harvest of cannabis together and get married, promising, that he will open a provision shop for me and as a Senior Secondary School 2 drop out, I saw it as a good deal for me.

“The idea made me happy because I have two children from another man who are with my mother at the moment. All I do for Daniel is to cook here in the forest.

“We were informed that the NDLEA guys were around. But before I could run away, they had already rounded me up, but my fiancee bolted leaving me behind.

“I have seen him selling Cannabis to people on two occasions, but I never asked how much he sold the stuff,” she explained.

NDLEA Deputy Director Strike Force, Nnadi Chidi said; “We found her on a quarterly harvested 10 hectares of Cannabis farm land at Ogbese Government forest reserve with 16.5kg of Cannabis Sativa.

“All the suspects will be charged to court after investigation has been carried out,”
