LAGOS—A Lagos Federal High Court has convicted and sentenced a convict, Mrs. Odeyemi Omolara, to another 15 years imprisonment for drug trafficking.

The convict, Omolara, who is currently serving a 25-year jail-term, was sentenced to another 15 years by Justice Deinde Dipeolu, on Tuesday.

However, Justice Dipeolu said the new 15 years jail-term shall run concurrently with the ongoing 25 years sentence handed down on the convict since June 2017 by Justice Hadiza Rabiu-Shagari (now a judge of Appeal Court)


The convict was formerly sentenced to 25 years jail in June 2017, after confessing to have committed the offence of illegal export of 1.595 Kilogrames of cocaine to Saudi-Arabia.
She was given the fresh jail-term, after she pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and unlawful possession of the banned substance, after the prosecutor, Mr. Abu Ibrahim had reviewed the facts of the four counts charge, made against her by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Meanwhile, following the sentencing of Odeyemi Omolara, who is the first defendant in the four-count charge, the trial of Mrs. Funmilola Arike Ogbuaya (a.k.a Ariket), who had pleaded not guilty to the charges commenced before the court.

At the commencement of trial, yesterday, NDLEA called five prosecution witnesses to testify in support of it’s case against Ariket.

Drug trafficking is a serious crime and those involved should face the consequences, as seen with the conviction and sentencing of Mrs. Odeyemi Omolara.

That's good ......not their usual 2yrs with option of fine of 500k.

So other tribes used to carry drugs? Maybe she changed her name in the court from onyeyechi to Odeyemi. God will continue to expose all your hatred to Ibos in this nation. Any Ibo who made money is a drug pusher according to you people. No tribes in Nigeria will lower their ego and passed through what we passed through to make money around the world.

IGBO men take the risk to provide for their wife and children (family) but others,the reversed is the case
