Nigerian Footballer Bags Death Sentence For Smuggling N413k Worth Of Drugs by VEXT: 4:59pm On May 26, 2021
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.

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

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. cheesy

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

Like bandits, like smugglers. They bring death.

Kill him already if that is the punishment stipulated.
From hard drugs to fake drugs, these people have killed more people than the Fulani, bandits and bokoharam together.

Very dangerous people to deal with.

Very yamreeish people. angry

It's impossible for a Fulani man to engage in drug trafficking, , Yorubas can hardly peddle drug in that part of the world for the fear of death, Hausas don't travell to Asian countries, ijaw & Urhobo are no-no.

Tivs, Nupes, Idomas Ebiras, Ngas, Ibiobio would never risk their lives to peddle drug.

Which set of Nigerians do you therefore think derive joy in drug business?
