Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Delta State High Court sitting in Kwale has convicted and sentenced two suspects, Joshua Anamali, 25, and Nelson Adoh, 30, to ten years in jail for illegal possession of firearms.<\/p>\n

The court, presided over by Hon Justice O.F. Enenmo, convicted the duo after finding them guilty of illegally possessing a cut-to-size single-barrel gun.<\/p>\n

The duo are cooling their heels at the Custodial Centre in Kwale.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting Counsel, Mrs Catherine O. Oboreruomo, said two witnesses testified in the case against the defendants, who defended themselves.<\/p>\n

In a chat with newsmen after the judgment, Mrs Oboreruomo advised young people to shun crime, affirming that the result of crime is condemnation and total destruction.<\/p>\n

The duo were arrested by policemen on routine stop-and-search duty on the 27th of January, 2021, at Ndemili in Ndokwa-West Local Government Area of Delta State, where the exhibit was recovered from them.<\/p>\n
