Earlier, the Prosecutor, Mr Simon Uche, who reviewed the facts of the case before the magistrate, tendered the convict’s confessional statement as exhibit which the court admitted in evidence.

Uche told the court that the convict was arrested at Swiss Park in Trade Fair Complex on Aug. 17, saying that the 207 wraps of “weeds” were found in his possession and offered no reasonable explanation as to how he came about them.

He said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 329 (b) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
