A man, Fayode Adejumo, was on Monday arraigned before Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court in Ibadan for allegedly trafficking 2.7 grams of “Colorado,” a potent synthetic cannabinoid, within the premises of Agodi Correctional Centre.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Oyo State Command, charged Adejumo with trafficking illicit substances.
Adejumo pleaded guilty to the one-count amended charge when it was read to him.
Consequently, Justice Agomoh ordered Adejumo to be remanded in Agodi correctional facility and adjourned the suit until May 25 for facts and sentencing.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr D.O. Otunla, told the court that the defendant committed the crime on Feb 25, in the premises of Agodi Correctional Centre, Agodi, Ibadan, Oyo State.
Otunla further said that the NDLEA operatives arrested Adejumo in possession of a bag containing 2.7g of ”Colorado”.
According to him, the offence contravenes the provisions of section 11(C ) of the NDLEA Act No. 30 of the Federation 2004.
