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:
"no 1 kwz my struggle, al they see is Tonto diz, Tonto dat!!!! nt kwin hw hard it hurt deep down to loose ur mom at d age of 3, n it hurt d most nt to hav her enjoy d fruit of her child birth, Mom i missed u alot #POKO"

Cigarette smoker are killing themselves but igbo is good for the brain and the blood cells too. As we speak many countries has legalized it.

ReplyDeleteBIGKOLLY
Its most unfortunate that NDLEA will come out to tell an offender the jail term she's risking. Enforcement officers don't talk frivolously,they act. I hope they will also prove to de judge dat they saw ganja and tonto in a single pix.
ReplyDeleteEven me, no mother at age of 8month and lost father at 6, so that shouldn't be her excuse for being useless, the way she behave in films is the same way she behave life. I hv seen her at Ore stand smoking and dressing like ashawo
ReplyDeleteWat a story....y is she givin d hard-luck story? Does she knw d number of ophans out dere in dis country of ours dat re coping with lyf without mindless misbehaviour. She's even lucky 2 ve bcum a star. And i dnt remember nigeria being 'oda countries' as some peeps ve said dat peeps who ought 2 uphold d country's image shud tanish it. Apart 4rm d so called western civilizatn dat is gradually stealin our cultural n moral values 4rm us, Naija is a dignified country. If only d rule of law ve pullin weight in dis country of ours cos i'm sure d NDLEA wud find a way 2 set her free. If u seeks 4 pple's luv dis much then learn 2 respect ursef cos though a star u re yet u're jst a celebrated low-life despirately seekin n in search of an identity. Get a lyf gal! CARTOONKWEEN
