Justice Lifu adjourned the matter until Oct. 30.
Earlier, the NDLEA Counsel, Mr O. F Azugo, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on Aug. 24, at Ipetu-Ijesa town, Osun.
Azugo alleged that the defendants were apprehended by the command when transporting the illicit drugs.
He said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 19 and 20 (1)(a) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act Cap 30, laws of the Federation, 2004.
They pleaded not guilty to the charge.
