The Kaduna State Federal High Court on Friday sentenced a 38-year-old woman, Felicia Raymond, to three years imprisonment for dealing in 4.5kg of marijuana.
The offence is punishable under Section 19 of the NDLEA Act, Cap. N30, LFN, 2004 (As Amended).
Raymond was sentenced following her guilty plea to illegal possession of the substance filed against her by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
The NDLEA prosecuting counsel, T. J. Atserhegh, had earlier told the court that the convict was arrested with the substance in Ungwan Rimi area of Kaduna on February 13, based on information received about the convict’s activities in the area.
Atserhegh stated the facts of the case and also urged the court to convict and sentence her according to the prescribed law under which she was charged.
Justice Mohammed Garba in his judgment sentenced the convict to three years imprisonment with an option of N100,000 fine.
