Kano Court Sentences Man to 7 Years for Advertising Cannabis Online
The NDLEA Kano Command has won a conviction against a 28-year-old man who promoted cannabis for sale on social media. Operatives arrested him on April 22 after a video circulated showing him publicly advertising cannabis sativa. On July 14, the Federal High Court 1 in Kano sentenced him to seven years in prison without an option of fine. The agency calls this a landmark judgment and a strong deterrent against illicit drug trade on public platforms. NDLEA officials urge families, community leaders and social media platforms to remain vigilant in the fight against substance abuse. They also invite anyone with relevant information to come forward and support ongoing enforcement efforts.
