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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
