Edo State Police Commissioner,

on credible information, operatives/tactical units of the command raided
Evbueren village, along Benin/Auchi road, where Stella was arrested.
Her confessions led to the

Speaking with journalists
at the command headquarters, the octogenarian suspect confessed that she sold
each cartridge to her customers at the rate of N250.
“I sell to them at N250,
but I don’t know what they do with it. That is what I do for a living,” she
confessed as investigation continues.
