Young mother to serve four years for ganja trafficking

Sojo Nedd, 24, of Queenstown, Georgetown, was sentenced to four years imprisonment after she was found guilty of  narcotics trafficking yesterday.

Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo imposed a monetary fine of $320,000—four times the value of the 400 grammes of cannabis sativa which Nedd had in her possession on January 24, 2008.

The mother of four was in a Zone 63A motor minibus, BJJ4755, which was stopped at a police road block in the vicinity of New Amsterdam Technical Institute.

The passenger identified her bag to the sleuths while relating that it contained marijuana. She reportedly called it a “little hustle.”

She pleaded for a chance but was arrested and taken to Central Police Station where charges were instituted.
