Justice Daniel Osiagor of a Federal High Court in Lagos, on Monday, convicted a social media comedian, Joshua Sunday a.k.a De General of drug trafficking.
The defendant was arraigned in court by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), alongside Caleb William, a cinematographer.
Delivering judgment, Justice Osiagor held that the volume of substance was minimal and would rather convict the defendants and caution them, rather than sentence them.
The court, consequently, convicted the defendants and cautioned them to “go and sin no more”.
Both defendants, 22, were charged with three counts of trafficking Tramadol and Indian hemp.
They both pleaded guilty to the charge.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that earlier, during interrogations by the court, the defendants told the court that they had never tasted drugs.
They told the court that the substances were used as props for their comedy skit, which they were in the process of shooting, before their arrest. (NAN)
