 Romanian court hands US rapper Wiz Khalifa nine-month sentence for drug possession  An American rapper has been sentenced to nine months in prison by a Romanian court more than a year after a high-profile incident at a summer music festival along the country’s Black Sea coast. Wiz Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was convicted Thursday of illegal drug possession stemming from his appearance at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costinesti in July 2024. Authorities said the artist was stopped by police after allegedly smoking cannabis on stage during his performance and was found to be carrying more than 18 grams of the drug. Prosecutors argued that part of the substance was consumed publicly while he was performing, an act that drew widespread attention at the time. The ruling overturned a lighter penalty imposed earlier this year, when a lower court issued Khalifa a criminal fine of 3,600 lei, roughly $830.

      In its bid to promote consumer rights, against hazardous and sub-standard products through regular public enlightenment, the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) has warned retailers who sell unwholesome or expired goods to unsuspecting consumers to desist from such or face the wrath of the law.
The General Manager of LASCOPA, Mrs. Kemi Olugbode gave the warning recently while speaking on a Radio Lagos programme “Ojutaye”, adding that the mandate of the Agency is ensuring that consumers derive satisfaction from goods or services.
She disclosed that some suppliers of products and services have been discovered to be in the habit of altering the details of their products or services before delivering them to retailers with the aim of depicting their products as original or genuine.
Citing the recent sealing of a Supermarket in Surulere area of Lagos for continuous display and sales of expired products contrary to the provisions of the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency Law of 2014, Olugbode said that despite being served with compliance notice order, the retailer continued displaying and selling expired products.
The General Manager maintained that any form of deception and unfair trade practices will not be acceptable or tolerated in Lagos State and that LASCOPA was determined to ensure that consumers get value for their money, imploring entrepreneurs not to take advantage of the unfavourable business climate in the country to sell unwholesome products to consumers.
Similarly, Mrs. Kemi Olugbode read the riot act to those who attacked government officials while performing their official duties, noting that it is unlawful and that anyone caught would be severely dealt with under criminal laws.
While soliciting for the understanding and support of Lagosians, she stated that aggrieved consumers can come to the Agency’s Office at Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency, 2B, Soji Adepegba Close, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos to lodge their complaints or send it online to lascopa@lagosstate.gov.ng or lascopa@gmail.com for quick resolution and redress.
