Four Get 42 Years Imprisonment For Drug Trafficking by TonySpike: 9:16am On Aug 19, 2014
Four convicted drug traffickers– Asirah Onyongha, Chinonso Onuchukwu, Bala Garba and Okafor Tochukwu – have been sentenced to 42 years in prison by federal high courts in the country.

While Onyongha was jailed 15 years and Onuchukwu and Garba were sentenced to 10 years each, Tochukwu, who was convicted for attempted smuggling, was sentenced to seven years in prison.

The PUNCH learnt that the first convict, who hails from Cross River State, had been arrested and prosecuted for cultivating drugs and dealing in hemp, while Onuchukwu and Garba who are indigenes of Nasarawa and Niger states respectively, were charged for peddling cannabis.

It was also learnt that 1,238 others had been convicted by the courts in the past six months.

Nigerian wayward law. Jailing people for that long for dealing natural herbs while traitors that robs the country of billions get away with pats on the back.

A very primitive judicial system that does not evolve like the political system. With set and stagnant minds that thrive in oyinbo past luminary mistakes as judges and lawmakers.

So all the weeed smokers that abound in the streets of nigeria will just walk away free? This aint fair justice. The law enforcement agents know where these igbo (weedd) dealers are but they can't be arrested and sentenced.
