The Federal High Court on Wednesday convicted and sentenced a 41-year-old Canadian woman, Adrienne Munju, to 11 years in prison for importing 74 parcels of “Canadian Loud,” a potent strain of synthetic cannabis, weighing 35.20 kilograms into Nigeria.

According to a statement by Femi Babafemi, spokesperson for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Munju’s conviction followed her arraignment on a two-count charge before Justice Dehinde Dipeolu.

She was arrested by the NDLEA at Terminal 1 of Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, on Thursday, October 3, 2024, during the inward clearance of passengers at the ‘D’ Arrival Hall of the airport.

In her post-arrest statement, Munju confessed that she was recruited to traffic the illicit consignment through an online platform for a payment of 10,000 Canadian dollars upon successful delivery in Lagos and that she accepted the offer due to financial pressures, as she needed the funds to pay for her ongoing master’s degree program in Canada.

Justice Dipeolu convicted and sentenced Munju after she pleaded guilty to the charges brought against her by the NDLEA.
