A 43-year-old woman, Alaba Mulika and her 16-year-old daughter, Olamide (surname withheld) have been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly trading in cannabis.


The mother and daughter were dwarfs, and the Nigerian Tribune gathered that dwarfism runs in their families, as the woman’s mother, sister and others were also dwarfs.

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu said that Mulika had engaged in sale of the illicit drug for more than five years

Iliyasu said that on August 5, at about 10:00 a.m., operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) got information about the sale of Indian hemp in Awa Ijebu, so they stormed the town and raided the suspects’ joint.

“On getting there, they found the woman and her daughter selling hemp, skunk and other drugs and arrested them with their exhibits,” he stated.

Mulika was arrested by SARS about two years ago and handed over to the state command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). It was further gathered that the woman was once a visitor of the anti-drug agency before her arrest by SARS two years ago.
