Tonto Dikeh may go to jail for smoking Marijuana - NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA has reacted to the photos
of Indian Hemp posted by Nollywood
actress, Tonto Dikeh, on the social media,
boasting that "I smoke ganja".
Disclosing that Tonto Dikeh may spend the
next 15 years in prison for daring to
smoke Igbo and expose it, the NDLEA
spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju said:
"Our attention has been drawn to the
post quite frankly and I can tellyou 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."
Toto had on Friday posted photographs of
a wrap of hemp and grains of the weed
formed into the letters,
'Happy birthday POKO.'
She also posted a photograph of herself
and added the inscription, 'Mi smoke
ganja mi smoke weed…' Her picture was
also close-up of her face that seemed to
depict her in a high state.
Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju further stated that
Tonto Dike's case have already been
referred to the appropriate department of
the agency for investigation and
prosecution.
"NDLEA Act Section 14 (b) states that any
personwho conspires with, aids, abets,
counsels, attempts to commit or is an
accessory to any actor 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," he said.
Possibly reacting to the criticism she has
attracted to herself, Tonto Dike wrote
on Instagram:
