Popular Nigerian Comedian Joshua sunday aka De General has being convicted for Drug Trafficking by the Federal High court in Lagos on Monday January 24.
De General was arraigned in court by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, alongside Caleb William, a cinematographer after being arrested for unlawfully dealing in 15 g of Cannabis and 14 g of tramadol in Lekki area of Lagos state. They were both charged to court with three counts of trafficking Tramadol and Cannabis Sativa.
The duo who pleaded guilty to the charge, however told the court that they've never tasted drugs. They maintained that the substances were props for their comedy skit, which they about shooting before being arrested.
Ruling on the case, Justice Daniel Osiagor who noted that the volume of substance was minimal, said he would rather convict the defendants and caution them, rather than sentence them.
The defendants were cautioned and asked to “go and sin no more”.
