Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court, Lagos, has sentenced Nnamani Sunday Sunny, 36, to four years in prison for attempting to export 800 grams of cannabis to the United Kingdom.
Sunny was arrested on August 10, 2024, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, where he concealed the drugs in Chikki Noodles packs. Prosecutors revealed he also involved one Nwajideopi Samson in the attempt.
Sunny pleaded guilty to charges under the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act and was sentenced to two years on each count, to run concurrently, without the option of a fine. Despite pleas for leniency, the judge emphasized the severity of the offense.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.

FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
