Comedian De General has stressed that he is innocent of the crime that National Drug Law Enforcement Agency took him to court for.
He was accused of trafficking cannabis and tramadol, upon which he was convicted and not sentenced based on the little quantity found in his room.
While he had told the court that the substances were props for skits – alongside a colleague whom he was arrested and convicted with, he notes in a post on Tuesday that he does not trade in drugs at all.
He says, “As you all can see, I am alive, I am healthy, I am back to my house eating, and I am freshened up. I just want to thank the general public and to let them know that I am fine. And for you folks trying to reach out to me, showing your concern, I appreciate it a lot.
“I just want to want to debunk the news circulating that De General is a drug trafficker. I’m not a drug trafficker! If I was a drug trafficker, do you think they’ll allow me go like that? I only traffic laughter and comedy.
“So let’s get our facts right. De General is not a drug trafficker, and I love you all. I don miss to dey do skits. E kon be like say nah one year.”
