NIGERIAN STUDENT GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING

The Shah Alam High Court today gave the death penalty to a 28-year-old Nigerian student after he was found guilty for trafficking cannabis, three years ago.

Judge Datuk Abdul Halim Aman, meted out the punishment on Prince Bartholowmew Obitube after the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case.

The accused, a student with a private college in Kuala Lumpur, was charged with trafficking 9.189kg of cannabis at Desa Satu Apartment, Gombak on Aug 20, 2011.

According to the facts of the case, Obitube was caught by police from the Gombak Narcotic Crime Investigation Department within the apartment area after he tried to run away with a blue backpack containing the drugs.

The offence, under the Dangerous Drugs Act, provides a mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
