« on: April 16, 2013, 10:56:30 AM »
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has dragged a student of Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT) before a Federal High Court over alleged possession of cocaine.

The student, Gerald Ugwu, was charged at the Federal High Court, Enugu, on Monday for being in possession of 105 grammes  of cocaine in his house.

He is facing a two-count charge of being in possession of 105 grammes of cocaine and being in possession of such substance without the authorisation of NDLEA.

The prosecutor, Mr Moses Anyaji, said that the accused was arrested in his house at Enugu by some police men and brought to the NDLEA office on July 4, 2012.

Anyaji said that his client tested the substance with their substance testing kits and confirmed that it was cocaine.

He said that his client issued the accused with the certificate of testing which he signed and thumb-printed.

The accused lawyer, Mrs Patricia Igwebike said that she has no objection after presenting the cocaine before the court by the plaintiff.

The presiding Judge, Justice M. L Shuaibu, adjourned the case till May 29 for further hearing. (NAN)
