Illegal Firearms Possession: Two To Spend 10 Years In Prison

By Onoriode Etatsemi

A High Court of Justice, Kwale in Delta State, presided over by Justice O. F Enenmo has convicted and sentenced two men to jail  for 10 years for illegally possessing a cut-to-size single barrel gun

The defendants, who are now in custody at the Custodial Centre, Kwale are Mr Joshua Anamali 25, and Mr Nelson Adoh 30, respectively.

The two defendants were arrested by police men who were on their normal routine stop and search on 27th day of January 2021 at Ndemili in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State, where the exhibit was recovered from them.

The presiding Judge, who carefully examined the case preffered against the defendants, found them guilty as charged and consequently convicted and sentenced them for the offence of illegal possession of firearms.

The Prosecuting Counsel, Mrs Catherine O. Oboreruomo said two witnesses testified in the case against the defendants, who defended themselves.

Mrs Oboreruomo, in a chat with journalists after the judgement, advised young people to shun crime, affirming that the result of crime is condemnation and total destruction.
