Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a Nigerian expatriate to 20 years in jail and imposed a fine of QR200,000 on him for being involved in narcotics trade.
According to local Arabic daily Arrayah, the court also ordered his deportation upon serving the jail term. Besides dealing in marijuana, the man was also convicted for drug consumption.

Meanwhile, another Nigerian man who was accompanying the first defendant during his arrest was sentenced to one year in jail and directed to pay a fine of QR200,000 for consuming narcotics. The court also ordered his subsequent deportation.

The matter came to light when the first defendant offered to sell a small amount of marijuana for QR5,000 to an undercover police source. Accordingly, the source proceeded with the operation after getting permission from the authorities concerned, the daily said.

The two parties met at the designated time and place, somewhere in Mamoura, with the police keeping an eye on the proceedings. When the defendant handed over the contraband to the source and took the money, he was arrested.

A search of his vehicle revealed more amounts of marijuana as well as some hashish. Eventually, the court convicted both the men based on the findings of the investigation and police reports.

This serves the dude right. If you can do the crime, be ready to do the time.

We are highly disappointed because we couldn't find any name attached. But we are sure the culprits must be from East Coast part of Nigeria where they are pros in this line.

We apologize to our followers as investigation is still on-going. Peace![/size]

So disappointed... No name to check.

Why is their no name nah?

Irrespective of the culprits tribe and region, they've brought shame to Nigeria.

The outside world doesn't differentiate between a Yoruba or a Hausa man, between an Igbo or Benin man once a crime has been committed. To them, we are all Nigerians and are viewed with the same spec.
