A 28-year-old drug peddler, Tunde Alaka, was on Wednesday sentenced to seven months in prison by Justice Patricia Ajoku of the Federal High Court in Ibadan for unlawful dealing in Indian hemp.
“I consider the provisions of Section 270 which makes it possible for anyone who enters a plea bargain agreement to be given a reduced sentence in judgment. “With these in mind, Alaka is sentenced to seven months in prison and the sentence starts from the date he was first arrested.“The exhibits found with him are forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria,” the judge stated.
