Justice Nkeonye Maha convicted and sentenced Akande after finding him guilty on the strength of the evidence presented by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
In her judgment, Justice Maha ruled that the sentence would run concurrently and ordered that all drug exhibits recovered from the convict be destroyed by the NDLEA.
âTherefore, Akande is sentenced to four years imprisonment each for counts one and two, and the sentences shall run concurrently. The exhibits found in his possession shall be destroyed by the NDLEA,â the judge declared.
The judge also warned Akande against returning to crime after completing his jail term, saying stiffer punishment would await him if he reoffended.
Earlier, the NDLEA counsel, Mr. Daniel Otunla, informed the court that Akande was arrested in January at the Gate area of Ibadan following intelligence reports from concerned citizens about his involvement in drug trafficking.
Otunla told the court that operatives of the agency recovered from the convict a sack containing 360 grams of cannabis sativa and 2 grams of methamphetamine, a psychotropic substance.
He said the offence contravened Section 11(c) of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
