A Kumasi Circuit Court presided over by Justice D.W.P. Amedior has sentenced an octogenarian drug-dealer to 10 years imprisonment.
Eighty-two year old Agambilla Akolbillah was caught with 45 wraps of cannabis, weighing 2,436.32 grams at Achiase, a farming community near Mpasaaso in the Ahafo-Ano South District.
He was charged with possessing narcotic drug without lawful authority and pleaded guilty to the offence.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Regina Addo-Yobo told the court that the convict was arrested by the police on February 17, at about 2030hours, following a tip off.
The drug had been concealed in a black polythene bag in his room.
The prosecution said Akolbillah admitted ownership and promised to lead the police to his source of supply but failed.
Samples sent to the police forensic laboratory for examination proved to be cannabis.
