LAGOS (AFP) - Nigeria's anti-drugs agency has arrested a 114-year-old Nigerian man after discovering 100 bags of cannabis behind his house in southwest Ogun state, a senior official said Saturday.

NDLEA Ogun state director Chinyere Obijuru said Sulaimon Adebayo who denied ownership of the illicit drug was arrested early in the week at Odeda following a tip-off.

"Imagine what could have happened if this drug had not been seized. Imagine the lives that would have been destroyed by this illicit drug," she queried.

Last November, the agency seized 30,000 kilogrammes of cannabis contained in 5,923 bags in southern Edo state, while in June it impounded 80 tonnes of cannabis in its largest single haul yet, in the southwestern city of Ibadan.
