“The sentence will run concurrently and will start from the date he was first arrested.

“The evidence of weed found in his possession will be destroyed by the NDLEA,” he said

Earlier, the prosecutor, Mrs AA Balogun, told the court that the convict committed the offense on September 17, 2025 at Alafara Babanla, in Ologuneru, Ibadan.

Balogun said NDLEA operatives had arrested the convict for being in possession of a bag containing 195g of the illicit substance following credible information.

The offenses contravene the provisions of sections 11(c) of the NDLEA Act Cap n30 of the Federation, 2004.
