Drugs Case: Nigerian Footballer Gets 10 Years In Jail In India by Salewa97: 1:02pm On Feb 02, 2021
A sessions court has sentenced Nigerian national Amachukwu Okeke, 37, to 10 years imprisonment and fined him Rs 1 lakh under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) for possessing commercial quantity of narcotics.

“…prosecution has succeeded in proving that the report of the expert confirms presence of LSD in the exhibits and that it was commercial quantity,” the court held. Okeke was caught red-handed with LSD liquid worth Rs 2.7 lakh, in Siolim, in 2015. The court gave him the minimum penalty required for possessing commercial quantity of narcotics.

The counsel for the accused argued that he is a footballer and has a few years to play and earn a livelihood for his family and is not convicted by any other court, but was falsely implicated by Kochi police in some other case.

The court noted that this was his second case. He was arrested in 2005 for possessing cocaine, but was acquitted by the court. When released on bail, he left the state and was involved in another drug case filed before Chennai police, where investigation is going on.

Counsel for the accused M D’Souza argued that the substance is liquid and could not be weighed in grams and there was no authorisation to investigate into the matter and investigating officer did not attach the accused’s clothes.

Public prosecutor Anna Mendonza submitted to the court that the substance seized was commercial quantity LSD and the investigating officer complied with the NDPS Act.

From what I heard, there are lot of indigenous Igbo in Kogi.

This Okeke could be a Kogi-Igbo tho. Trust me, these Kogi Igbos don’t deny their Igbo ness like the Ikwerres and Ika.

I will look for the guy’s picture, if his head has any funny shape, then we can 100% confirm his tribe and identity.
