a 28-year-old Nigerian, Prince Bartholomew Obitube, has been sentenced to death by a Shah Alam High Court in Malaysia for trafficking in marijuana.
Obitube, a student with a private college in Kuala Lumpur was sentenced yesterday after a trial which lasted about three years.
He was reportedly arrested by police from the Gombak Narcotic Crime Investigation Department with 9,189kg of the illegal substance at Desa Satu Apartment, Gombak on August 20, 2011 after a tip off.

containing the drugs when the police swooped on him. The offense, under
the Dangerous Drugs Act in the country, provides a mandatory death
sentence upon conviction.
