The NDLEA arrest of the Instagram Skit Maker; De General: a quick look into their statutory functions. By Barr. Stan Alieke. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency was established (according to the establishment clause) to enforce laws against the cultivation, processing, sale, trafficking and use of hard drugs and to investigate persons suspected to have dealings in drugs and other related matters. The S.3 of the NDLEA act clearly provides for their functions which amongst other things include detection and prevention of drug related crimes and apprehension of drug criminals and other related offenses. The act provides for life sentence for drug dealers ie sellers and cultivators of drugs and drug traffickers. S.11 (a,b&c) of the act specifically provide thus: “Any person who without lawful authority:- a. Imports, manufactures, produces, processes, plants or grows hard drugs shall be guilty of an offence and liable upon conviction be sentenced to life imprisonment. or b. Exports, transports or otherwise traffics hard drugs shall be guilty of an offence and liable upon conviction to be sentenced to life imprisonment. or c. Sells, buys, exposes or offers for sale or otherwise deals in or with hard drugs shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to be sentenced to imprisonment for life. The act also provides for the punishment of 15-25 years imprisonment for the offence of the use of drugs or the possession of hard drugs no matter how small is the amount you are caught with. S.11(d) provides thus: Any person who without lawful authority knowingly possesses or uses hard drugs by smoking inhaling or injecting the said drugs shall be guilty of an offense and upon conviction shall be imprisoned for 15-25 years term. The offense of the popular Instagram skit maker, De General who was arrested on the 12th day of January, 2022 bothers on the offense of possession and use of hard drugs without lawful authority, hence he will be charged with a lesser punishment since the amount of drug found on him at the time of his arrest didn’t qualify to classify him as a drug dealer or drug trafficker. According to the official press release from the NDLEA, he was found with 14 grams of tramadol and 15 grams of cannabis. This is just a minuscule amount of drugs, he is to be classified as a drug user, not as the dealer and he will get a lesser punishment if charged to court. Drug abuse is bad and it is criminalized by the government and it is advisable to stay away from drugs but we will not fail to point out the fact that the NDLEA is wasting tax payers’ money going after the peasants in the food chain of drug trafficking and drug deals in Nigeria. In as much as their job description covers to detect and apprehend anybody in possession of drug no matter how small the drug is but they have got a bigger fish to fry and going after some Instagram celebrity and bursting into his home at the wee hours of the night with large numbers of heavily armed field agents only to find 14 grams of tramadol and 15 grams of cannabis is making the general public question their professionalism and they should be ashamed. Be it as it may, the law says according s.11 of the NDLEA that once you are caught with a drug without lawful authority you are a criminal despite the fact that you are just in possession of a meagre sum and you will be made to go away for it for atleast 15 years. Please folks, stay away from drugs. Stan Alieke, Esq. Lead Counsel, Stanley Alieke& Co. infoitooknow@gmail.com. 7 Likes 3 Shares

How many artist wey nor Dey take drugs? Why dem nor go invade burna boy or wiz kid house because I’m sure they'd fine plenty of drugs there This story clearly reminds me of Karl Marx position on law, when he stated that your law is nothing but the will of your class. In a country that practices democracy, are we saying some are above the law? Yes some persons are actually above the law. If NDLEA really wants to get their job done, they should locate seun Kuti and other A list celebrities and do the needful Those thinking Nigeria would one day be better are still in the dark and scared to accept reality As long as we operate a capitalist system of government, there’ll always be class struggle between the Bourgeoisie(Rich) and the proletariat (Sapafina’s) Lastly, D general should check his circle, I clearly believe it was a set up from one of his friends, now they’ve taken a mug shot of him.

Most of these boys doing skits here and there are into drugs and yahoo runs. The kind of money they flaunt is just too suspicious. The problem with them is that they are weak and always allow money to control them. Any small change they have the whole social media won't rest. 8 Likes |

Majority of the youths are into drugs, one way or the other. If this is allowed, we might have a general insane/ mad society in the future.
