Nigerian sentenced to 30 years

The special NDPS court, on Tuesday, sentenced a 33-year-old Nigerian to 30 years of imprisonment for smuggling 980 gm of cocaine from Dubai to Mumbai in August 2009. The court also slapped a fine of Rs 2 lakh on him.

Special Judge MY Mankar convicted Musa Abdul Kenneth from Delta, Nigeria, under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Kenneth was booked under two sections of the act--one for smuggling the drugs and another for drug possession. Both sentences, each for 15 years, will run consecutively.

According to the prosecution, on August 20, 2009, Kenneth arrived from Dubai to Mumbai Sahar international airport. He was carrying two handbags. When they were checked, the authorities found something suspicious in his grey hand bag and immediately stopped him.

A R Gupte, the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) officer who was on duty, then found that the bottom of the bag was covered with a silver wrap. When the wrapping was removed, as many as 83 pale yellow capsules were found inside. Lab tests confirmed that the capsules were cocaine. Kenneth was immediately arrested.

During the trial, the prosecution examined four witnesses, all of them members of the airport authorities. AS Sarpande, advocate for the accused, argued that the bag did not belong to Kenneth. "Kenneth had earlier travelled from Lagos to Dubai and his bags were checked many times. Then how come the authorities did not find anything suspicious?" said Sarpande.

Judge Mankar, however, said, "If the authorities in Dubai or Lagos missed the capsules, it doesn't mean that Kenneth is not guilty." The family of the accused is now planning to appeal to the High Court.

In this age of digital downloads and music-on-the-go, DiFabio hopes to get people to take a few hours of their time and get intimate with art and music. “My mission for opening Vinyl Revival is two-fold: to give customers an alternative to digital music, the multiplex movie theaters and national retail chains by focusing more on indie and local artists.

Vinyl Revival hopes to be a destination.welcome to Michael Kors 2013,free Shipping available. Buy Now!‎ A place where you can put on headphones and listen to some records, hang out and chat about music with other customers.”

The store is planning on opening its doors to the public the weekend of Aug. 16 and 17. Live performances are also in the works. It’s a new, unique and probably risky venture but DiFabio is willing to take the chance on her business and Lansdowne.

“I don’t know of any other business model like this. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing,” she says. “I chose Lansdowne because it had a neighborhood feel and I love that there is a growing arts community and a growing business and retail district.”

The irony is that in something recycled customers will discover something original. “There’s always going to be something new to see and hear so customers will want to come back.”
