The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on Friday, charged a 33-year-old man, Victor Stephen, to a Federal High Court, Lagos, over alleged drug trafficking.

Stephen is charged with five counts, bordering on illegal deal in Cannabis sativa, Metaphetamine, Codeine, and Rophynol.

In the charge signed by NDLEA prosecutor Mr Lambert Nor, the defendant was alleged to have committed the offence on Dec. 20, 2022, at the Abule Egba area of Lagos.

Nor said the defendant unlawfully dealt in 8kg and 31.1g of cannabis sativa.

He alleged that the defendant also illegally dealt in 2.5 litres of codeine, 0.7g of Metaphetamine, as well as 65.7g of rophynol.

The prosecutor said that all drugs were listed in the NDLEA schedule as banned narcotics.

The offence contravenes the provisions of section 11(c) of the NDLEA Act Cap N30 Law of the Federation 2004.

No date has however, been fixed for further hearing on the matter.
