A drug dealer has been jailed for peddling cocaine and cannabis in south Essex.

Obed Farman, 32, from Grays, was jailed at Basildon Crown Court on Friday (June 26).

He had pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug – cocaine – between September 2024 and March 2025.

He had also pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug – cannabis – between June and July 2025.

Farman entered further guilty pleas to charges of possessing cocaine and possessing nitrous oxide for inhalation.
