Canadian lady jailed 11 years for importing 35.20kg cannabis

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday convicted and sentenced a 41-year-old Canadian lady, Adrienne Munju, to 11 years imprisonment for importing 35.20 kilogrammes of Canadian Loud (Cannabis Sativa) into Nigeria.

Justice Dehinde Dipeolu who handed down the verdict also gave her an option of N100m fine on the two counts preferred against her by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

The judge convicted and sentenced Munju following her plea of guilt on the two counts.

Earlier when the convict was arraigned, the NDLEA prosecutor, Mr Abu Ibrahim, told the court that Munju without lawful authority imported 35.20 kilogrammes of Cannabis Sativa, otherwise known as ‘Canadian Loud’, into Nigeria.
