The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Friday dragged a 30-year-old man, Kamardeen Hakeem, before the Ibadan Division of the Federal High Court over alleged drug trafficking.

Mr Hakeem is standing trial on a one-count charge bordering on unlawfully dealing in 202 grammes of cannabis sativa, a.k.a. hemp.

He pleaded guilty to the charge.

Following his plea, the trial judge, Nkeonye Maha, ordered the remand of the defendant at the Agodi Correctional Centre, pending a review of facts.

The court consequently adjourned the case until March 10 for review of facts and judgment.

In the charge, the prosecutor, R.O Ige, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on November 7, 2025, in the Apata area of Ibadan, Oyo State.

The prosecutor alleged that Mr Hakeem was arrested by NDLEA operatives while in possession of a bag containing 202 grammes of cannabis sativa.

According to the prosecutor, the offence contravenes the provisions of section 11(C ) of the NDLEA Act, Cap N30, Law of the Federation 2004.
