The judge passed the sentence on the convict after he pleaded guilty to a three-count charge of drug trafficking brought against him by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The prosecutor, Mrs. Adenike Owoyemi, had earlier told the court that the convict committed the offence on April 14, 2025, at First Gate, Tin Can Island Port, Apapa, Lagos State.

After the conviction, the defence counsel, Miss Bola Bolawole urged the court to show mercy on his client, noting that the convict is a first-time offender who pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and promised not to engage in crime again, if given another chance.

In his sentencing, Justice Dipeolu ordered the convict to pay a fine of N300,000 and serve six months of community service.

The judge additionally instructed that while fulfilling his community service, the convict should carry placards with messages like: “Avoid Drug Abuse,” “Don’t Deal in Hard Drugs,” and “Hard Drugs Are Injurious to Your Health,” among others.
