Yesterday morning, i told you how actress turned singer Tonto Dikeh uploaded photos of herself looking high, a wrap of hemp and grains of the weed formed into the letters, ‘Happy birthday POKO,’ with the caption - Mi smoke ganja mi smoke weed while my hatez smoke ma gossip.’
Reports were made and the NDLEA spokesman, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said the matter would be investigated.
Ofoyeju said, “Our
attention has been drawn to the post quite frankly and I can tell you
that action will be taken on it. The law is clear and NDLEA has been
very clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or
encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The weed is one of the
banned narcotics in the country.
“NDLEA
Act Section 14 (b) states that any person who conspires with, aids,
abets, counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory to any act or
offence referred to in this act shall be guilty of an offence under this
act and liable on conviction to be sentenced to imprisonment for a term
not less than 15 years and not exceeding 25 years.
“Investigation
has not started as of now but definitely, a step has to be taken on the
matter. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse; so, it is obvious that
the actress stands the risk of 15 years jail term. The appropriate
department is meeting on the issue for necessary action.”
P.S:
Tonto Dikeh, you are not Rihanna, neither are you as famous or
financially stable as she is. You don’t live in Amsterdam or Jamaica or
Barbados where weed is legal.
Be wise!!!
