chai!!! 55 years

people still believe in "shortcut to success"

What you worked for with your two hands and sweat will definitely last forever.....

While their crime deserves some punishment, 55 years for smuggling small quantities of drug is excessive. How many years would a murderer get? Three to five years would have been sufficient punishment to make them have a rethink. And if they continue, then the courts can scale up the punishment to 10 - 15 years.

Why waste a young person's life for smuggling a few kilos of hard drugs? They need to be rehabilitated, not put away for life. Our laws are so out of date. The judges metting out this punishments lack basic common sense. Where are they going to house these people? Is it in that colonial era Enugu prison that is a death trap? What about our politicians that steal billions everyday? Has any of them gone to jail?

A Federal High Court sitting in Enugu, has sentenced two drug traffickers to fifty-five years in jail.

One of the convicts, Deborah Okafor, a 30-year-old professional dancer, was charged with conspiracy, trafficking and unlawful possession of 3.450kg of amphetamine, while the other, Iheme Onyemauchechukwu, was charged with trafficking and unlawful importation of 9.975kg of heroin. They were both arrested at the Enugu airport.

A statement by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said Okafor would have been paid the sum of $3,500 if she successfully made her trip to Malaysia.

She was convicted and sentenced by Justice D. V. Agishi to 10 years each in counts one and two and 20 years in count three making her sentence 40 years altogether.

The second convict, Onyemauchechukwu, 27, was charged with trafficking and unlawful importation of 9.975kg of heroin. He was convicted as charged and sentenced to 10 years in count one with a fine of N1m and five years in count two with a fine of N500,000,000.

Okafor reportedly hid 3.450kg of amphetamine inside the pockets of jean trousers in her luggage.

She told the court that she was broke and needed money. “I had been approached on many occasions to smuggle drugs but I declined. I thought that I could earn some quick money in few days,” she stated.

Onyemauchechukwu said he was recruited in Tanzania by a suspected drug cartel in East Africa. He told investigators that he smuggled drugs because he was stranded.

“I used to sell phone accessories before I left the country. I wanted to go to Malaysia in search of job opportunities but I was stranded in Tanzania. Then I met a Nigerian who gave me money and promised to assist me get back to Nigeria. He offered to give me some money to start up my business. He later took me to Bujumbura in Burundi where I was given 9.975kg of heroin hidden inside cosmetics,” he stated.

NDLEA Chairman,Ahmadu Giade, expressed satisfaction with the judgment.

He said, “While this punishment is expected to correct the convicts, it will equally help to deter others from getting involved in drug trafficking. The agency commits huge resources in drug investigation, arrests and prosecution. Judgment like this will further lend credence to the nation’s anti-drug campaign.”

Because we are not part of the fraud called Nigeria that's why yorubas and hausas commits same crime and go free and will not let us stay on our own.

the point people are making is that 95% of all drug pushers are from there, such a small area. I can easily fit 10 pages full of names .

At 30 years old. That's a life sentence!
She can teach other prisoners to dance

And a drug baron like kashamu is in senate representing PDP and Tinubu is a national leader of the ruling party APC.

Nigeria judiacry rewarding highier criminals since 1800 AD

If our so called corrupt leaders are not messing up with power n Nigeria money,there by putting d youth into hunger n joblesness, the yong nigeria wouldn't have been messing around with drugs n all that

this is why u must jump into the yout boat and move for the rescue with us... The problem of this country should be fought from the youths.. Eradicate the minds from get rich fast.. Changes should start from the youths

who will mentor nigerian youth how to to make a living through honest means. I look from the south to the north, it's a pity no name readily came to my mind.

This so called court have power only on youths buh dey wl throw out any case concerning top politicians (looters).

I weep 4 our generation.
