Ejiogu Benjamin Ikechukwu was in June 2012 apprehended with 3.3 kilograms of the banned drug concealed in metal tubes and a laptop charger in his luggage as he flew to Tan Son Nhat in Vietnam.
When he was arrested, Ejiogu said he only planned to come to Vietnam to buy clothes to resell them in Nigeria and had no idea about the drug in his luggage. According to him, a man asked him to carry the tubes and the charger to Vietnam and that someone would pick them up.
A Vietnam court heard the case brought against him by Vietnam police in August 2013 and sentenced him to death, but he appealed the verdict. Vietnam Supreme Court then canceled the verdict, ordering a new investigation. Investigators could not track down the people who had used him as a drug mule.
According to Vietnam law, anyone convicted of smuggling more than 600 grams of heroin or more than 2.5 kilograms of methamphetamine in Vietnam face the death penalty.

@annoymous 10.12am, Ave u been jailed in Vietnam b4?
His mum prayer is not in vain, very lucky.
Nigerian youth need to avoid situation that can bring us shame,let us be creative than looking for a way to get rich quickly.
Life imprisonment or death penalty which is preferable? Why not sentence the dude to death than let him rot in jail for the rest of his life?
Lol, you cracked my ribs. Mummy Linda Okorie
His family's fasting and prayers have paid off. But he's still going to spend the rest of his natural life behind bars. And from what I've heard, Vietnamese prisons are a real hell hole.
