Nigeria's anti-narcotics agency confiscated 6.5 tonnes of marijuana on Tuesday - from the home of a man who claimed he was 114 years old.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said it had found 254 sacks of cannabis at the home of Sulaiman Adebayo in Ogun state, north of the commercial capital Lagos.
'The quantity of drugs suggests a large scale involvement ... There is more to the case than Pa Sulaiman,' NDLEA chairman Ahmadu Giade said in a statement.
Adebayo, who said he had been a farmer all his life, told police he thought the sacks contained rice.
Marijuana is grown illegally on large-scale farms in many parts of Nigeria and is smuggled across its porous borders to neighbouring countries.
The agency said Adebayo claimed to have attended the inauguration of a famous hall in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state, in 1895 as a small boy, and said he was 114 years old.
There was no independent confirmation of his age.
