A Federal High Court, Abuja on Tuesday convicted and sentenced two co-defendants in the alleged drug trafficking trial of suspended DCP Abba Kyari and others to two years imprisonment.

The judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, held that having pleaded guilty to the offence of unlawful dealing in drugs, as contained in counts 5, 6 and 7 of the charge, Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne (who are 6th and 7th defendants), are convicted accordingly.

Justice Nwite proceeded to sentence the two years on each of the three counts.

He said the sentences, which shall run concurrently, would commence from the day the defendants were arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Umeibe and Ezenwanne are the two drug traffickers arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu by the Nigerian police and handed over to the NDLEA.

They pleaded guilty when they were arraigned earlier this year.
