Comedian De General convicted of drug trafficking

The social media influencer was arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) alongside Caleb William, a cinematographer.

The judge held that the volume of substance was minimal and would convict and caution the defendants, rather than a sentence.

NAN reports that Justice Osiagor convicted Sunday and William and warned them to “go and sin no more”.

Charged with three counts of trafficking Tramadol and Cannabis Sativa, they pleaded guilty. Lilian Omotunde was the defence lawyer.
