Isn’t there a pardon for disability?
21-year-old Nura Abdullahi has been sentenced to five years imprisonment for dealing in 62 kilogrammes of marijuana.
However, Abdullahi wasn’t blind when he was caught.
He became blind while remanded in prison and awaiting trial.
He was finally convicted and sentenced on Wednesday, on the strength of his confessional statement that he was indeed in possession of marijuana as well as the exhibits tendered by the prosecution.
Abdullahi, who was re-arraigned on September 3, 2015, pleaded guilty to the offence.
