TONTO DIKEH MAY GO TO JAIL FOR SMOKING IGBO; SHE CRIES THAT PEOPLE HATE HER
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 tell you 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.”
To 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 person who
conspires with, aids, abets, counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory to
any act or 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:
