He said a patrol team, while patrolling around black spots in Nyanya, had arrested the defendants smoking dry leaves (weed) suspected to be marijuana.

He said during the police investigation, the defendants could not give a satisfactory explanation of what they were all doing at the black spot.

According to him, the act of smoking “Indian Hemp” by the defendants was causing discomfort at the neighbourhood.
