Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a wanted 59-year-old drug baroness, Bridget Oghenekevwe Emeka aka Mama, who they describe as “the backbone” of a major cartel distributing drugs in Delta and neighbouring states.

Mama was arrested on Sunday at her mansion where she cooks and distributes crack cocaine, methamphetamine and other illicit substances.

Spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, on Tuesday in Abuja, said no fewer than nine of her staff and associates were also arrested in a coordinated operation at her residence that had bunks where she accommodated drug users and sold illicit substances to them and others in parts of Warri, Delta State.

He said, “Apart from various quantities of crack cocaine, methamphetamine, molly, and loud seized from her home and drug bunks; a pump action gun, 15 cartridges, documents, two cars, mobile phones, drug paraphernalia such as sodium bicarbonate and polythene wrappings, were also recovered for further investigation.

“While five of her staff that cook, cut, package and distribute the drugs were found in her house located on Favour Street, Otukutu, Effurun Warri, Delta State, four of her associates were equally arrested at her drug bunks in other parts of the town during the raids by the Strike Force officers of NDLEA, supported by the military.”
