Two co-defendants in a suit filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) against suspended DCP Abba Kyari over an alleged drug trade were convicted and sentenced to two years in jail by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.

In a ruling, Justice Emeka Nwite noted that because Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne, the 6th and 7th defendants, acknowledged to committing the NDLEA’s charges 5, 6, and 7, they “are consequently convicted accordingly.”

On each of the counts 5, 6, and 7, Justice Nwite sentenced them to two years in jail.

He stated that the terms would begin on the day the defendants were apprehended by the NDLEA and would run concurrently.

The two defendants, Umeibe and Ezenwanne, who are the 6th and 7th defendants in the case, are accused drug traffickers, who were apprehended by Nigerian police at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu and handed over to the NDLEA.

The anti-narcotics agency had filed five, six, and seven counts against them, to which they pleaded guilty to all the counts.

Sunday Joseph, counsel for the NDLEA, told Justice Emeka Nwite that two applications seeking a plea bargain in the cases of Umeibe and Ezenwanne had been filed at the resumed hearing.

The motions, dated June 13, were filed on June 14, according to Joseph.

E. U. Okenyi, the lawyers for the two defendants, also agreed with Joseph’s submission.
