A Federal High Court in Lagos has convicted five women for the illegal importation of 6.96 kilograms of a potent cannabis strain known as “Ghana loud.” Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke sentenced each of the women to two years in prison or an option to pay a fine of N500,000 along with 100 hours of community service.

The convicted women—Basirat Olarigbibe, Fatima Garuba, Amudalat Adekunle, Oloye Arafat Awele, and Ademola Bola—were apprehended by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Seme Border on August 21, 2024, with various amounts of the substance in their possession.

Prosecutor Andover G. Yuanyam presented evidence, while defense lawyer Oke Ojakovo requested leniency, citing the women’s status as first-time offenders and the challenging family circumstances of some. Justice Aneke confirmed their status and ordered that sentences run concurrently, with the alternative fine and community service in lieu of jail time.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
