A Delhi, India-bound passenger, Freeman Charles Ogbonna, has been sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment by a Federal High Court. Ogbonna was sentenced to 25 years in prison without an option of fine by Justice Dipeolu of the Federal High Court, Lagos. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, made this known in a statement by Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy, on Tuesday.
The suspect, who claimed he was recruited into drug trafficking by one of his relatives, eventually passed out a total of 80 wraps of cocaine weighing 889 grams through his mouth and anus over a period of four days. The great risk that almost took his life notwithstanding, Ogbonna said he was given the drugs to swallow at a hotel in Ipodo area of Ikeja with a promise to reward him with N300,000 cash if he successfully delivers the consignment in India.
