Nigerian Man Jailed 263 Years In US [PICTURED]

«§» 14 July 2014

A convenience store owner convicted of selling heroin and marijuana near a middle school was sentenced to 263 years in federal prison on Thursday, Wilsontimes reported.

U.S. District Judge Malcolm J. Howard handed down 53-year-old Felix A. Okafor’s 3,157-month sentence in a Greenville federal courtroom. A jury convicted Okafor of selling drugs during a four-day trial last July.

Jurors found Okafor guilty of selling heroin and marijuana to a confidential informant at his Benson convenience store, the Flying Eagle, which is within 1,000 feet of Benson Middle School. Prosecutors said Okafor used his store to cut and package the drugs.

Okafor was convicted of 25 drug and gun charges, including 11 counts of possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime, six counts of distribution of heroin and four counts of distribution of marijuana.

Prosecutors said Okafor had a gun in his pocket each time he sold drugs to the informant.

Johnston County sheriff’s deputies investigated Okafor with assistance from the State Bureau of Investigation, N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Prosecutors said the case is part of the national Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative.

A serious offence indeed and ANOTHER blight on Nigeria - but 263 years?

Is there something else about his crimes that warranted this long jail term we are not privy to?
