Bignona : arrêté avec du chanvre indien, le tailleur explique les bienfaits de la drogue pour ses… poussins
B. Djiba faces ten years in prison and a fine of 10 million CFA francs. This is the sentence requested for the 31-year-old tailor who was tried this Monday before the Ziguinchor criminal court for international drug trafficking. The court will deliver its verdict on July 1st.
According to Libération, which attended the trial, B. Djiba, residing in Gambia, was arrested on July 4, 2024 with 20 kg of Indian hemp seeds, by commandos of the Senegalese army positioned in Diaboudior, a village in the commune of Djibidione, in the department of Bignona.
In court, the newspaper reports, the defendant swore that the drugs were intended for his chicks. "The Indian hemp seeds gave them a lot of strength," he justified, confessing to having stolen the prohibited product from a lemon grove.
For the defendant's lawyer, Mr. Terence Senghor, "nothing proves that the cannabis seeds are drugs," the black-clad attorney argued. "No analysis has been carried out by a laboratory to prove that my client possessed drugs. Only acquittal is appropriate in this case."
The prosecutor, who has requested a ten-year prison sentence, disagrees. The ball is in the judge's court.
