Officers from the Delta State Police Command have arrested a 26-year-old woman, Tare Orusanaye, on suspicion of drug dealing.
According to the police spokesperson, Bright Edafe, she was apprehended by operatives from the Ugborikoko Division during a raid at a location along Jakpa Road in Effurun.
During the operation, officers recovered items believed to be cannabis, a weighing scale, tobacco, and a container allegedly used to conceal the substances.
