A NEWPORT house was ordered to be closed down for three months by a district judge after being associated with “persistent disorder” including the supply of Class A drugs.

Alana Davies, 28, of 22 Coverack Road, appeared at Cwmbran Magistrates’ Court for the hearing.

Samson Odeyemi-Oyadeyi, of the same address, was also listed to appear but was not present. He is in prison.

District Judge Richard Williams said he was placing the order after being satisfied that the premises were used in connection with the supply of Class A drugs and that the property was associated with persistent disorder or serious nuisance to the public.

The order, which was put into effect immediately, means no-one is allowed to enter or use the property for the next three months.

The district judge did make a special provision for Davies to enter the property up until noon yesterday in order to move her belongings after Davies told the court she was planning to move out.

She said: “I am taking myself away from this.”

The Argus reported in November last year that Odeyemi-Oyadeyi was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment after admitting racially aggravated provocation of violence, possessing a bladed article and robbery.

At the time, the court heard he had threatened neighbours and brandished a knife at them on January 15 last year.

Davies was sentenced to four months, suspended for 18 months, and 150 hours’ community work at the same hearing for two counts of actual bodily harm following two assaults in the city centre in April last year.

During the incident Odeyemi-Oyadeyi stole a handbag from one of the victims.
