A Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced a 42-year- old businessman, Ifeanyi Obori, to three years’ imprisonment for drug trafficking.

Justice Kuewumi in his judgment found the accused guilty as charged and sentenced him to three years’ imprisonment.

Kuewumi said the imprisonment period would begin from the date of the convict’s arrest.

The convict was charged with trafficking in drugs by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The NDLEA arraigned him before Justice Babs Kuewumi, where he pleaded guilty to the charge.

After his plea, the prosecutor, Mr Jeremiah Aernan, reviewed the facts of the case before the court.

Aernan tendered a statement written by the convict, a request for scientific aid form, and a drug analysis form.

He also tendered the remnant of the narcotic substances found on him before the court as evidence.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the evidence were, accordingly, admitted by the court and marked as exhibits.

According to the charge sheet, the convict was said to have unlawfully engaged in trafficking of 700 g of Cannabis Sativa, also known as hemp.

He was said to have been arrested on May 17, 2017 at Orile Market in Orile-Iganmu, a suburb of Lagos, where he was trading in the narcotics.

According to the prosecution, the convict was, accordingly, arrested and charged.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the offence of drug trafficking contravenes Section 11 (c) of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30 Laws of the Federation, 2004.

15 Business Theories That Will Improve Your Living

1. Humans respond best to motivation theory Many companies operate on the "principal agent," or "incentive theory. " It's based on research by economists Michael Jensen and William Meckling , who determined that Human beings work as hard as you pay them.

Investigators also were continuing to review radiological images and awaiting additional medical records requested by the coroner, Zornes said. He declined to estimate how long it would take for the coroner's office to complete its inquiry. Preliminary autopsy findings had been expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a com...
