Nigerian man sentenced to death in Malaysia for drug trafficking

Eric flanked by Malaysian police
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.

Unfortunately, when you are sentenced to death in Malaysia for drug trafficking, there's no going back. So so sad!

That's your answer, daffie. Your question contains the answer to your cheeky question. It's her blog. She can do anything she wants with it, including publishing your worst subject in Chinese language. Thicko, you're as daft as a brush :)

Hmmmm.... So sad. I was on the Arik air flight from Naija to London on the 18th of December 2011, where one of the air hostesses was caught with drugs(cocaine) and now in prison here. I have a friend amongst her felow crew members. I spoke to him yesterday about t tryna find out a lil somtn somtn. His reply was 'Ha, we don't feel sorry for her joo. She's just an idiot'. lol.

Dee said...

I don't get these drug dealers. They know the deal yet they carry on dealing. No matter how bad your present condition may be, the one you will be when you're caught, and after, will be far worse. Use your brains.

Olori said...

Chei I am weeping for this boy. Was the money that important heh? this is horrible. DEATH ke??? when the laws of the land are that strict, I still don't understand why our darling naija brethren will go to such barbaric places and commit crime. Na wa o. And this one will have maybe a mom and dad and siblings. O sad gan o

Its a pity! He didnt get rich but at least, he died trying. Keep ya head up bro!

Iz said...

I dont understand the kind of desperation that will make pple go do drugs in places like Malaysia knowing very well how strict the penalty for drug trafficking is. Na wah o! There is really no going back and there is no kind of diplomacy that will help him. I hope this serves as warning to others to desist from drug trafficking and most especially, stay away from those Asian countries. I wish also we had such rules here for our thief thief leaders - i mean the death penalty for them.

These asians are strict. They no dey play. Plus he's not white. He's a nigger, he's of no use to them.

I guess it wasn't worth it after all. I don't know why these ppl leave Nigeria to do crime. Better to suffer in your own land that die in the strangers own. I hope he makes his peace with his soul and God before he dies. Still so young, could have done so much with his life.

Why do these fools still break the law knowing the harsh consequences. This is not America or Europe where you can break the law, get some time and still come out okay.

MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

Gbenga ur fada x10. Crime, greed and the love of money is not synonymous with just an ethnic nationality. You should think about the other four fingers pointing back at you before pointing the other one at someone else.

The whole of Asia has zero tolerance for drug trafficking and these drug people know say na bad market yet they still send these JJC boys. There is absolutely nothing anyone or the Nigerian govt can do to stop them from killing this dude. Its so bad that they carry out the sentence almost immediately unlike a death row setting. He'll be executed in a matter of weeks, one month tops.

RIP dude.

Like your own Yoruba brothers don't get involved in shady business too....Who doesnt know that thats all your people do in the UK and beyond???? Ass wipe!!!!!!!

So sad!such α̲̅ fine young man!why can't they stay away frm these asian countries?or better still find α̲̅ way to make ends meet in naija.for GOD sakes he is still very young.what α̲̅ waste!

Bellaz said...

I dont understand why you would say its sad????? He was drug trafficking.In life everyone has a choice. So what is sad about this. It is very very very good. All those naija boys in Malaysia that are doing 419 and drugs still feel they are untouchable. This is just a lesson. The death penalty should be given when convicted of fraud too. Its just too much. They have spoilt nigerians' name in that country.

me and you said...

you guys learn how to ignore the retard called Gbenga.He's an attention seeker and u guys keep giving him the attention. Una nor dey learn haba.

To Gbenga, shut da hell up in that your tribalism comments. Start using your both sides of your brain. Stupid Igbo hater. FYI, Igbos will live forever! Igbos will forever be the greatest in Nigeria(yes, go jump into lagos river). Long live Igbos. Fool, spell it right.

Gbenga, is giving Igbos the taste of their own medicine.
Igbos are the biggest tribalist. So, all these igbos crying on here like babies need to stop it. Igbo people can dish it out but can't take it.

They talk trash about yoruba people all day and now try to act like victims. People wonder why there are more igbos in yorubaland than yorubas in igboland. It's as simple as this ,yorubas are more welcoming to igbos than igbos are to yorubas. So, when some people make it seem like igbos are more open minded, they don't know the full story. Igbos talk bad about yorubas than yorubas talk bad about Igbos.

Everybody know igbos love money so nothing new there. They will not be doing business in yorubaland if they didn't feel comfortable there. They teach their children false history, and give out false information.

In as much as I respect, Mr C. Odumegwu Ojukwu very intelligent man, I don't agree with the perspective, interpretation or logic behind Biafra war. I don't totally agree with the victim, unfair, biased mentality that igbos portray.

My point is, everybody want to kill Gbenga for his comments, which he's doing to get people talking. There's a bigger picture here, people who scream out tribalism the most are most likely to be the same thing they are screaming out. Tribal unity in Nigeria will not happen automatically, people need to change their mindset first.

And to the guy, he got what he deserved. You break the law, consequence comes after

I just saw this the other day - and it led me onto lots of other people who were/are in the same position in Asia. Its really depressing - and such a sad waste of a life for these young men. As many of you have said, its on the visa and on huge banners in the aiprorts that drug trafficking in those places carries the death penalty. Sometimes even if people have nothing to do with it, if there's just a hint of suspicion, its serious wahala- more so for Africans. I can't imagine what he or his family are going through now - that is if they even know about the situation. All I hope is that people will learn from this horrible, horrible lesson. On another note, I'm not Nigerian, but I don't think we as Africans should be engaging in this whole 'blame a specific tribe' game. There's good and bad in all of us and this is the sort of thing that 'outsiders' like to capitalise on..
