Justice Patricia Ajoku of the Federal High Court in Ibadan, on Tuesday sentenced three men to different jail terms each for trafficking in Indian hemp.
The convicts, Abdulrahman Ojoola, 35 and Lukman Rasheed, 23, were sentenced to four months in prison each while Ayuba Yusuf, 20, is to spend six months in a custodial centre.
In three separate judgments, Ajoku said the men were convicted and sentenced based on the evidence tendered before her which proved that they were guilty of the offence.
“I believe that each of the convicts is truly remorseful of their actions as shown now”.
“You must know that any attempt to go back to the crime will earn you a stiffer punishment. I also consider the fact that each of you is a first time offender.
