Ibadan, Feb. 26, 2026 (NAN) A Federal High Court in Ibadan on Thursday remanded two men, Rauf Muideen and Olalekan Alimi, at the Agodi Correctional Centre for allegedly trafficking 100 grammes of Cannabis sativa.

Consequently, Justice Nkeonye Maha ordered that the defendants be remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre and adjourned the case until March 20 for the presentation and review of facts.
Counsel to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Oyo State Command, Mrs A. A. Balogun, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on Oct. 12, 2025, at the Sagbe area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
