A 45-yesr-old Ekwegbalu James has been sentenced to death in Vietnam for smuggling drugs into the country.
Nzube was sentenced to death by a court in the southern Tay Ninh Province on Tuesday for trafficking nearly four kilograms of methamphetamine from Cambodia.
Vietnam Insider reported that Nzube said he got acquainted with another Nigerian, Jone, in China in 2014, and that the latter had hired him to transport drugs from Cambodia to Vietnam.
In March he came to Ho Chi Minh City before going to Cambodia to fetch the drugs for which he was paid $2,000.
But while illegally crossing the border into Vietnam last July he was caught by border guards in Tay Ninh Province.
In his rucksack they found four plastic bags with nearly four kg of meth.
Vietnam has some of the world’s toughest drug laws.
