Nelson Okpala

Nigerian man guilty again for selling buai in restricted area

The district court in Western Province last Friday found Nelson Okpala of Anambara State, Nigeria, guilty with two counts of peddling and unlawfully being on premises.

From a police brief, it was alleged that on February 28 at around 8:30am, Okpala was arrested for selling betelnut at the market adjacent to the OTML sewerage treatment plant.

That is the same location where he was arrested previously for the same offence.  

Okpala was convicted and ordered to pay a maximum fine of K50 for peddling, and K400 for unlawfully being on premises.
