Kent Police have confirmed a man, who supplied class A drugs across Kent, is starting his prison sentence today.

Odyssius Ojo was found guilty after officers found his phone was linked to the sale of heroin and crack cocaine in Medway.

He also had possession of a knife disguised as a keyring fob.

Ojo, of no fixed address, was later charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine between 12 December 2023 and 23 January 2024, being concerned in the supply of heroin over the same period and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.

The 22-year-old will spend two years and nine months’ behind bars.

Key position

Investigating Officer, PC Oliver Matcham, said:

"Ojo had a key position in this drug supply network and did not have a minor role.

"As such a prison sentence was the only option and, should he reoffend on his release, he will face a significant jail term."
