A Legal Practitioner identified as Obianuju Ekejiuba was intercepted and arrested by the operatives of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at Abuja while on her way to allegedly supply a parcel of 500grams of Indian hemp to consumers.

In what is now the new trend with people fainting while being interrogated, the NTA Reporter, Iliyasu Yakubu, asked the legal practitioner why she was into drug peddling, she simply slumped in response to his question.

She was led back to the office after officers of the NDLEA gave first aid treatment to her theatrics.

In a video seen by TheNigerialawyer(TNL), Commander of NDLEA, FCT, Hamisu Lawan, lamented the trend and called for concerted efforts in the fight against drug peddling and abuse.

“I have a mother here before me that was involved in a sells of cannabis sativa and not only that, I understand from her testimony, I must confess, that it is very much embarrassing because somebody that is highly educated being in the legal profession involved in the selling of cannabis or drugs, I think that is highly embarrassing” Lawan said

The NDLEA said it will charge the suspect to court upon completion of its investigation
