2 teenagers jailed 160 days for possession of 10kg of marijuana

Justice Hadiza Shagari of the Federal High Court in Kaduna on Monday sentenced two teenagers to 80 days imprisonment each for unlawful possession of 10kg of marijuana.

The convicts, Yusuf Ahmed, 19, and Salisu Balarabe, 19, were both sentenced after they pleaded guilty to unlawful possession and breach of public peace.

The judge, however, did not give the convicts an option of fine, but ordered that their jail term should begin from the day of their arrest.
