Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Joshua Sunday Martins popularly known as De General has debunked alleged claims that he is a drug trafficker.
Recall that on Monday, he was convicted of drug trafficking by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
He was arraigned in court by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, alongside Caleb William, a cinematographer after being arrested for unlawfully dealing in 15 grams of Cannabis and 14 grams of tramadol in Lekki area of Lagos state.
They were both charged to court with three counts of trafficking Tramadol and Cannabis Sativa.
The duo who pleaded guilty to the charge, however, told the court that they have never tasted drugs. They maintained that the substances were props for their comedy skit, which they were about to shoot before they got arrested.
However, the Judge ruled in their favor as he told them to go and sin no more.
Taking to Instagram, De General in a video debunked all the claims that he is a drug trafficker rather he said he is a comedy trafficker, as he stated that if he was a drug trafficker, the EFCC would not have released him from their custody.
