In the Judgement by Justice Emeka Nwite, it was admitted that the duo committed the offence preferred against them in counts 5, 6, and 7 by the NDLEA.
The judge while sentencing them to two years imprisonment on each of counts 5, 6, and 7 said it shall run concurrently and would commence from the day the defendants were arrested by the NDLEA.
The two defendants, Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne are alleged drug traffickers who were arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu by the Nigerian police and handed over to the NDLEA.
They pleaded guilty to counts five, six, and seven preferred against them by the anti-narcotic agency.
