SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 15 – Jibril Adamu is awaiting sentencing for distributing narcotics on an aircraft; he was arrested in Croatia.
On July 15, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a public proceeding. Inner City Press went and covered it.
The conference was triggered by a letter Adamu sent to Judge Gardephe, stating that "I am being denied the assistance of counsel as my counsels have become near or non-existent."
Judge Gardephe asked Adamu if he now felt differently. Apparently he did. It was declared that the transcript would be sealed.
But the courtroom was not.
While not required, Inner City Press is not reporting anything that might harm the defendant. Sentencing is set for July 27 at 3:45 pm.
The case is US v. Adamu, 18-cr-601 (Gardephe)
