Five Women Sentenced to Two Years for Importing Cannabis Strain “Ghana Loud” in Lagos
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.
