Tonto Dike has received reports that her posts of Marijuana on her instagram page, has attracted the NDLEA spokesman Mr Mitchell Ofoyejus of Nigeria and faces a possibility of up to 15years imprisonment. She has denied the allegations, and blames it on a Fan saying He or She had posted the pictures.
The spokesman explains “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.
