The defendant is charged with unlawful deal in one kilogramme of Cannabis Sativa, before a Federal High Court in Lagos.

The charge is pending before Justice Ayokunle Faji. The defendant will be arraigned on Nov. 26. The prosecutor, Mr Jeremiah Aernan, alleged that the defendant committed the offence on  Oct. 15.
