A multi-million-naira mansion located at K-5A/2 Road 14, Victoria Garden City, Lekki area of Lagos State used as clandestine laboratory for the production of methamphetamine by a convicted drug baron, Chris Nzewi Okenwa, has been forfeited to the Federal Government.

This following his successful prosecution and conviction in court.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency prosecuted Okenwa’s case.

The Director of Media and Advocacy of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, revealed this in a statement on Sunday.

The Eagle Online recalls that Okenwa was arrested along with his associate, Sunny Okeh Ukah, on July 30, 2022 and subsequently arraigned on four counts in charge number FHC/L/527C/2022 at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

They both pleaded guilty on July 17, 2023, while they were convicted and sentenced to four and three years imprisonment each with an option of fine of N4 million N3 million respectively in addition to community service for four and three weeks each.

His vehicle, marked EKY 496 DJ, was equally forfeited to the Federal Government.

To further deny Okenwa of enjoying the proceeds of his criminal activity, the NDLEA filed a civil forfeiture charge against the building used as clandestine laboratory at the Federal High Court, Lagos, which initially granted an interim forfeiture order that elapsed on December 6 before the final forfeiture on December 7, 2023.

This isn't a stiff punishment:

1. They have the option of paying fines of ₦4m and ₦3m to avoid the jail term

2. Only the building where the confiscation happened is ceased.

So where is the severe consequences of being a drug baron in Nigeria?

You don't understand the government plan.

The plan is systematic and gradual. All the proceeds of their drug dealing have been confiscated.

If they are thrown in jail without the option of fine they will just rot there and the government with make much money from them.

Let them pay the fine. Be sure they will be caught doing same thing again. That's another seizure n more money to the government until they meet their end overseas
