VEXT:


A 23-year-old Nigerian man, Theophilus Ugwu, was sentenced to death on Tuesday, May 25, for smuggling nearly six kilos of methamphetamine from Cambodia to Vietnam.

According to a local newspaper, Theophilus Ugwu was charged with "illegal trafficking of narcotic substances" by the People's Court of Western province of Tay Ninh, Vietnam.

On March 8 2020, police found Ugwu transporting 12 bags containing meth from Cambodia to Vietnam in Tay Ninh's Ben Cau District. The meth weighed around 5.92 kilograms.

Ugwu said he came from Nigeria to Cambodia in February last year as a soccer player. But in March, he became acquainted with another African, who promised to help him play for a famous Cambodian club.

On the day he was caught, the man hired Ugwu to deliver a bag containing the drugs from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)— Tay Ninh borders both HCMC and Phnom Penh. Ugwu accepted the deal and got $1,000, but was eventually busted by police as he tried to smuggle the drugs into Vietnam through less-traveled paths. In court, Ugwu said he did not know the bag contained drugs.

This guys are so wicked.

They will hand bag(s) containing drugs to innocent people without them knowing it was drug,they get caught and killed for a crime they know nothing about.

It won't be well with that fellow.

Guys should be security alert,don't collect bag for people to deliver even if you know them. Make sure you know what is in the bag

thorpido:
He can't claim to be be Innocent.
Except that guy is very naive,he knew what was going on.He just let himself fall victim.

Deborah98:
Hustle legitimately they won't na to rush go end their lives dey want... Don't even know what I'm writing sef

Pierocash:
no bro, he may not know. He may see it as one good man who wants to help him get a good club,and decide to also just help him drop the bags without knowing the idiot is a drug baron

Tingotoe:
Only an idiot will not check the contents of a bag given to him.

Simplyleo:
Even as a footballer with those mouth watering emolument, is Theophilus Ugwu still saying Buhari pushed him into drugs?

Lmao, I'm just imagining if all these drug criminals are being arrested only in Nigeria, it would have been, "na everybody dey do drugs but na only us dem dey arrest".

But as God will have it, over 95% of the arrest are outside Nigeria, so no Buhari or fulani to accuse. The closest so far is "if Buhari had made the economy like that of US, he wouldn't have involved in drugs".

Very amusing.

Pierocash:
whether he made such mistake of acertaining the content or not isn't the point . The point is that he is innocent of this crime. I am talking from experience
