What do Nigerians think tramadol is? People choose to abuse it does not mean it has lost its medical use.

Newshelm:
A Federal High Court in Lagos, on Friday, sentenced a businessman, Ifeanyi Ezeanwu, to five years imprisonment, over importation of a container load of Tramadol and other sex enhancing drugs.

The convict was sentenced by Justice Hadiza Rabiu-Shagari, after the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration Control (NAFDAC) had reviewed the facts of the charge before the court.

The convict was first arraigned before the court in February 2015, on a one count charge of unlawful importation of the said drugs.

Apart from series of Tramadol tablets, other banned drugs said to have been imported by the convict include: Ibamol tablet of 50 mg, and Heogra tablet of 150 mg.

The offence, according to the prosecution, contravenes the provisions of section 1(a) of the Counterfeit and Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods (Miscellaneous provision) Act Cap. C34, Law of the Federation 2004.

The convict had pleaded not guilty during his first arraignment, but when the case came up at the last adjourned date, he changed his plea to guilty, while the court adjourned the case until today, for a review of fact and sentence.

Reviewing the facts of the case on Friday, the prosecutor, Umar Shamaki, narrated to the court how the convict was arrested by NAFDAC operatives.

Mr Shamaki also tendered several items which including the convict’s confessional statements, samples of banned drugs, which were admitted as exhibits by the court.

After the review, the prosecutor urged the court to sentence the convict according to Section 3(1) of NAFDAC Act.

Mr Shamaki told the court that the NAFDAC Act prescribed a payment of N500,000 fine, or a prison term not less than five years and not more than 15 years.

Meanwhile, counsel to the convict, Vivian Ekwegh pleaded with the court, to be lenient in sentencing the accused, as he was a first time offender.

In sentencing the convict, Justice Rabiu-Shagari, held: “the prosecution has been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, especially, as there is no other way of proving a case than self-admittance”.

She, consequently, convicted and sentenced the convict to a term of five years imprisonment from date of arrest.

The court, however, gave the convict an option of fine of N300,000.

Nigeria business man or IPOB business man

Op this is your judgement

SarkinYarki:
I don't see how this is a crime except if he didn't have an import license for drugs from the PCN

But if u read tru the fact of the case up there, they said it's a banned substance. What other reason do u want for it to be a crime?

The greatest irony, besides the 300,000 fine, is calling the criminal "businessman".

They're crooks, not entrepreneurs.

aze:
He is a destiny waster who reaped from the miseries of others.

He deserves up to 20years behind bars.

That would have been the sentence in a working justice system.

So this is why TM is becoming scarce.

What's wrong with this Government?

aze:
He is a destiny waster who reaped from the miseries of others.

He deserves up to 20years behind bars.

Which misery?

..but y do IBO people all ways Carriy drug?....don't they hav 9- 5 office job there in Nigeria? ...no ofeense. .(Shake my head twice thou )

The problem of Nigeria is obviously our judiciary. It was clearly stated in the NAFDAC act that the option of fine if they would even grant it is 500k, yet the judge still went ahead to give the option of fine of 300k.
