The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on
Friday said controversial Nigerian actress,
Tonto Dikeh, risks a minimum of 15 years in
jail for encouraging the consumption of hemp.
Dikeh had on Friday posted photographs of a
wrap of hemp and grains of the weed formed
into the letters, 'Happy birthday POKO.'
She also posted a photograph of herself and
added the inscription, 'Mi smoke ganja mi
smoke weed while my hatez smoke ma gossip.'
Her picture is a close-up of her face that
seemed to depict her in a high state.
When Saturday PUNCH contacted NDLEA for
comments, its spokesman, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju,
said the matter would be investigated.
He said the matter had been referred to the
appropriate department of the agency.
Ofoyeju said, "Our attention has been drawn
to the post quite frankly and I can tell you
that action will be taken on it. The law is clear
and NDLEA has been very clear on the issue. No
one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or
encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria.
The weed is one of the banned narcotics in the
country.
"NDLEA Act Section 14 (b) states that any
person who conspires with, aids, abets,
counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory
to any act or offence referred to in this act
shall be guilty of an offence under this act
and liable on conviction to be sentenced to
imprisonment for a term not less than 15 years
and not exceeding 25 years.
"Investigation has not started as of now but
definitely, a step has to be taken on the
matter. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse;
so, it is obvious that the actress stands the risk
of 15 years jail term. The appropriate
department is meeting on the issue for
necessary action."
The NDLEA spokesman, however, declined to
give any hint on particular steps the agency
would take in its investigation, citing reasons
bearing on ethics.
Dikeh's post has expectedly drawn mixed
reactions from readers, with many of them
voicing concern for the way she is living her
life.
