365Daily – Two drug dealers arraigned with suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari over an alleged drug deal have been sentenced to 2 years imprisonment.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had arraigned DCP Kyari and others at a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The 2 co-defendants had earlier sought a plea bargain before their conviction and sentencing on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a judgment, said having admitted to have committed the offence preferred against them in counts 5, 6 and 7 by the NDLEA, Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne, who are 6th and 7th defendants, “are hereby convicted accordingly.”
Justice Nwite thereafter sentenced them to two years’ imprisonment in each of counts 5, 6 and 7.
He said the terms, which shall run concurrently, would commence from the day the defendants were arrested by the NDLEA.
The duo, Umeibe and Ezenwanne, were arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, by the Nigerian police and handed over to the NDLEA.
