At Cambridge Crown Court yesterday (20 July) he was sentenced to a total of five years in prison after previously pleading guilty to four counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and acquiring criminal property.
While sentencing, His Honour Judge Bridge commented that Kayode was previously ‘a man of good character’ but it became clear in March 2019 that he was ‘using his position to deal in class A drugs’.
Detective Constable Daniella Lewis said: “We’re committed to tackling drug dealing across the county and this sentence reflects how seriously the courts take street dealing.
“These substances wreak havoc on people’s lives, and dealing can often be linked to violence, intimidation and other offences, as people look to feed their addictions.”
