Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court Lagos, yesterday, sentenced a 31-year-old warder, Frank Obi, to 10 years imprisonment, for drug trafficking.
The judge sentenced the convict, based on his guilty plea to a one-count charge of supplying restricted narcotics to inmates at the Kirikiri maximum prisons, Lagos.
Justice Buba in his judgment, reprimanded the convict for being a shame to lawful authorities, and accordingly, sentenced him.
”Following the guilty plea entered by the accused, he is hereby convicted as charged, and accordingly, sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, without option of fine” he said.
The judge said that it was indeed very shameful, that a prison official who knows the values of the prison system, and ought to be a custodian of the law, is now the perpetuator of crime.
He added that the sentence shall take effect from May 6, when the convict was arrested, while the convict is to be jailed at the Ikoyi Prisons.
