34-Year-Old Nigerian, Eric Chimezie Oluigbo Sentenced To Death In Malaysia For Drug Trafficking

This is how the cookie crumbles! I learnt that when someone is sentenced to death in Malaysia for drug trafficking, there's no going back.

A 34 year old Nigerian man was yesterday February 27th, sentenced to death in Malaysia for trafficking in drugs two years ago.

Eric Chimezie Oluigbo was arrested while trying to distribute 22,159 grammes of cannabis at a traffic light in Napoh, Malaysia, on the morning of September 1, 2010.

He was charged under Section 39 (B) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 which carries a mandatory death penalty upon conviction.
