Omolola was first arraigned in May on a three count charge of conspiracy, unlawful possession of banned drugs and attempt to export banned substances to Saudi Arabia. She was arraigned alongside Lagos socialite, Mrs. Funmilola Ogbuaya, popularly known in social circles as Ariket. Both of them had pleaded not guilty. However at the resumed hearing of the case, Omolola changed her plea in an amended five counts of the charge.
Omolara's lawyer, King Wilson, informed the court of her intention to change her plea, particularly, on count four of the charge, which bothered on attempt to export 1.595 kilograms of Cocaine to Saudi Arabia. Her request was granted by the trial judge, Justice Rabiu-Shagari, who ordered the charge be read to her again.
After the amended charge was read, the convict pleaded guilty, and the prosecutor urged the court to pronounce her guilty as charged, and to permit him to review the facts of the case against her and to tender exhibits she was arrested with. Attempt by the convict’s lawyer, Mr. Wilson to convince the court to suspend pronouncement on her sentence failed, as the prosecutor, Mr. Ibrahim urged the court to go ahead and pronounce the sentence.
After listening to the arguments from both counsels, the presiding judge, Justice Rabiu-Shagari said, “I have listened carefully of the defendant’s counsel, it’s true that sentence is not for punitive but reformatory and to serve as deterrent to others. Consequently, the convict is hereby sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, starting from when she was first arrested.”
Justice Rabiu-Shagari also ordered that her ECOWAS passports and Egypt Air ticket be forfeited to the Federal government of Nigeria.

woow
Let me do the Lil calculation; she is 65 + 25years imprisonment =90year. Hmmm madam age well
25 years? Who did she kill?? This is too much
Shameless old yoruba bitch
NA WAOH!
I THINK SAY NA OLY IBO DEY DO DRUGS?
SHAME ON THIS OLD YORUBA WOMAN
laws/penalties are skewed to favor rouge politicians, 25 years for attempted drug trafficking whilst those who stole billions got few years behind bars are soon back to start looting again. How many years was given to Bode George, Ibori and co? Our lawmakers can't enact laws that will send treasury looters to prison for up to 20 years but they enact laws that will send someone that steals a tuber of yam to 20 years in prison. Justice should not only be done but must be seen to have been done.
65 YEARS +25 YEARS IN PRISON = DEATH SENTENCE. WHAT A PITY THE QUEST FOR QUICK RICHES HAS DENIED THIS MAMA OF REST IN HER OLD AGE
JUS NEGODU THIS YORUBA WOMAN REPP'N THEIR GENERATION SHAMEFULLY!
