Meet the 80yrs Old Woman Arrested for Selling Live Cartridges

I wonder why this elderly woman allowed her old age to be rubbished by young folks because of money.

80-year-old Madam Comfort Izeomwen, who has been tagged as arms peddler, has been arrested and paraded by the Edo State Police Command. The octogenarian was arrested following the arrest of her alleged accomplice, Stella Omobude, 48, who was caught with 32 live cartridges by the police.



Edo State Police Commissioner, Chris Ezike, who paraded the suspects along with 71 other suspects, said based 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 arrest of Mama Comfort at Ekae village in Benin City, with 68 live cartridges recovered from her.

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.
