A special court has convicted a 44-year-old Nigerian national of drug peddling and sentenced him to 14 years of rigorous imprisonment, along with a fine of Rs 1.6 lakh.
Kingsley Samuel, a resident of Hennur, was arrested by Banaswadi police in Oct 2022 after they seized 140 grams of MDMA from him. He has since been in judicial custody at Bengaluru Central Prison.

Delivering the judgment, the special judge for Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) cases, Vijaya Devaraj Urs, observed: "You were found in illegal possession of 140 grams of methamphetamine without any licence or permission to sell it to the public, thereby committing an offence punishable under the NDPS Act.

Further, as a Nigerian citizen who stayed beyond the expiry of your visa, you also violated visa conditions, thus committing an offence under the Foreigners Act."

Kingsley also has to undergo an additional year of simple imprisonment if he fails to pay the fine.

Public prosecutor KV Ashwath Narayana highlighted that meticulous investigation by Banaswadi police played a crucial role in securing the conviction. This marks the fourth conviction in NDPS cases handled by Narayana, who emphasised that methodical investigation and adherence to Supreme Court guidelines are key to obtaining convictions in drug-related cases.

Police must carefully document the receipt of information, conduct raids, and record the seizure of contraband in the station diary. Following this, an FIR under the NDPS Act should be ed and senior officers must be informed. Simultaneously, police should approach the jurisdictional court to produce the seized drugs for further legal action. Moreover, investigating officers must establish that the drugs were seized directly from the accused.
When all these steps are diligently followed, the chances of securing convictions increase significantly," he explained.

Not surprised

I just blocked this guy. He has nothing meaningful to contribute to any discussion on Nairaland.

Nigeria failed him.

If Nigeria have a working system, provides the basic things that a government is meant to provide for it citizens, tell me why someone will dare the consequences and still peddles drugs.

Nigeria failed Coscharis that he was involved in money laundering.
Nigeria failed Innoson that he was investigated for tax evasion and fraud.
Nigeria failed Arthur Eze that he sold 2 used helicopters without rotors at 9x the price of new ones. Those helicopter eventually crashed, killing the pilots.
Should we mention Abacha's houseboy called Peter Obi who stole state funds to invest in his private business.

Crime is in your DNA. Full stop.

Stop blaming others for your misfortune. Tell yourselves some home truths about the criminals you elected to lead you as well as the foolish choices you made.

Naaa deme dem no comment

How is he a relative of Buruji Kashamu and Yekini Amoda Ogunlere

He's a relative of the Agulu paedophile who married an underage girl thereby commiting statutory rape.

How did the paedophile's father die?
His drug associates tied a stone around his head and threw him in the river.

These are the people shouting about bad governance in Nigeria, yet you're in a country where you could engage in legitimate business. Instead, the get-rich-quick mentality and need for showmanship have taken over.

Lets say you are right that Nigeria "failed" him. After he had managed to "escape" Nigeria, is it thesame Nigeria that made him to go into drugs and other nefarious activities after arriving that Country?

See defence. People weh be say anyway na way to them, na dem you deh defend. There's nothing you can do to discourage them from peddling drugs. Unfortunately, they continue to batter the image of the country and at the same time claiming they want a better Nigeria.

Na Dem
. . . Always demarketing Nigeria abroad, it seems that's their culture.
Even their Mazi did the same at Johns Hopkins University; they always things to soil the country's name.
