Comfort was nabbed alongside her accomplice, Stella Omobude, aged 48 in the Ekae village in Ikpoba – Okhal Local Government area of the State with 32 cartridges.
The octogenarian, who was arrested along the Benin – Auchi road at Evbueren Village, claimed she only sells ammunition to hunters and private security and each cartridge is sold for N250 only.
