A Federal High Court in Ibadan has sentenced four drug dealers to a total of 48 months in prison for trafficking in hard drugs.
The traffickers are: Muideen Olajide, 46; Onyia Okechukwu, 20; Azeez Sakiru, 18 and Ige Atilola, 32.
In four separate judgments, Justice Joyce Abdulmaleek said that she convicted and sentenced them based on the evidence tendered before her.
She, however, warned each of the convicts that she reduced their sentences because they were first-time offenders.

She added that they might not be lucky again if they went back to the crime.
“To serve as a deterrent to others still in the illicit business, Olajide and Atilola are each sentenced to six months in prison while Okechukwu and Sakiru are each sentenced to 18 months in prison.
