A musician, Femi Saka, 37, has been sentenced to one-year imprisonment by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, with an option of N600,000 fine for dealing in hard drugs.
The trial judge, Justice Akintayo Aluko, convicted Saka after he pleaded guilty to the three counts preferred against him.
Saka was arraigned on three counts of having Cannabis Sativa, Methamphetamine and Molly.
The prosecution counsel, M. I. Erondu, told the court that the convict committed the offences on July 11, 2023.
The convict’s counsel, O. Jakovo, pleaded with the court for leniency in sentencing the convict by giving him a non-custodial sentence.
Justice Aluko sentenced him to 12 months imprisonment with an option of N200,000 fine each for the three counts, totalling N600,000.
