COURT: Drug dealer locked up

April 6, 2018

SHARE BY EMAIL

A 23-year-old man has been jailed for three years after being found guilty of being concerned in the supply of cannabis, crack cocaine and heroin.

Ahmed Alhadad, of Tamworth Grove, Clifton, was a passenger in a car which was stopped on Kennington Road, Radford in November 2016 after officers spotted it had a brake light out.

Officers smelt cannabis and found empty deal bags in the car and following a search of Alhadad, he was found to be in possession of cannabis, two mobile phones and £100 in cash. The mobile phones were seized and analysed, which showed evidence of Alhadad being involved in the supply of drugs.

Alhadad denied the offences but was found guilty by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court and was sentenced yesterday (Thursday 5 April). He was sentenced to three years for being concerned in the supply of heroin, three years concurrently for being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and eight months concurrently for being concerned in the supply of cannabis.

PC Tom Andrews, who stopped Alhadad in November 2016 and ran the investigation, said ‘‘Alhadad may have only had a small amount of cannabis in his possession but his behaviour led officers to suspect something more serious. Phone evidence showed that Alhadad was selling class A drugs and he was convicted off the back of this. This shows that Nottinghamshire Police and the Courts take the supply of drugs very seriously and will always investigate suspected drug dealers to the fullest extent.”

Man sentenced for attempting to incite sexual activity with child

A man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to attempting to cause or incite a girl aged between 13 to 15 years to engage in sexual activity.

Delfim Bujudo, 31, of Forest Road West, Nottingham, was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court today (Friday 9 March 2018).

The court heard that officers arrested Bujudo on 28 October 2017 - acting on intelligence that he had been communicating online with a ‘decoy’ who had been pretending to be a 13-year-old girl.

He had sent sexually explicit videos, photos and messages to the decoy while encouraging her to touch herself sexually in return. The decoy made it clear to Bujudo that she was 13-years-old.

As well as his suspended prison sentence Bujudo was made subject of a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and must sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for 10 years. He must also complete a 25-day rehabilitation activity requirement.

Muslim radio station fined £2,000 for broadcasting 'hate speech'

A radio station broadcasting to Nottingham's Muslim community has been fined £2,000 after a talk played on the radio was found to constitute 'hate speech'. Watchdog Ofcom today (February 27) ruled a nasheed - a chant or speech often set to music which are popular in the Islamic world - broadcast by Radio Dawn breached its code on hate speech. A decision published on Ofcom's website said the 17-minute nasheed, which was broadcast on December 26, 2016, began by "glorifying the victories on the battlefield of figures from Islamic history".

Karimia Institute / Radio Dawn / Bobbers Mill Community Centre, etc.

 It said the broadcast also went on to "suggest that similar violent acts committed against non-Muslim people would bring honour to Islam". The notice said: "Further, the Nasheed included a number of pejorative references to non-Muslim people. "In particular, non-Muslim people were repeatedly referred to as “Kufaar” (the Arabic word for disbeliever) and on one occasion, “Kaafir I Murdaar” (meaning filthy disbeliever in Urdu)." Ofcom ruled the breach was serious and imposed a sanction of a £2,000 on the station, which is run by the Karimia Institute, which is based in Berridge Road, in Forest Fields. 
 It comes just two months after the station was rapped by Ofcom for broadcasting "potentially harmful" information . In that case, a scholar, described on the phone-in programme as "the Mufti", said it was unacceptable for a diabetic to miss fasting days during Ramadan on the recommendation of a non-Muslim doctor. A comment from the  Karimia Institute is still outstanding.

Jailed for three years: Sneinton drug dealer, Aquil Choudry, 25

Aquil Choudry, 25, of Durham Avenue, Sneinton, has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis, with intent to supply.

Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (20 February), he was also sentenced to a further 13 months in prison, to be served consecutively, after breaching a previous suspended sentence for conspiracy to supply cannabis.

Choudry was stopped by officers from the knife crime team in Clifton on 19 January. After searching him and his car, officers found a stash of drugs hidden behind the dashboard. He initially denied all knowledge of the drugs, but due to an overwhelming amount of evidence gathered throughout the investigation, he changed his plea to guilty.

PC Tom Andrews, of the Knife Crime Team, said “This strong sentence by the judge shows that drug supply will not be tolerated in Nottingham. Choudry claimed to be out delivering takeaway food, when in fact he was using this as a ruse to get around and supply drugs. Choudry was doing this whilst on a suspended sentence for similar matters, showing his complete disregard and lack of respect for the law. The knife crime team targets those most likely to be involved in knife offences, which through our extensive research and consultation are often intrinsically linked to drugs.”
