PHOTO : Nigerian Sentenced To Death For Drug Trafficking In Vietnam
Ejiogu Benjamin Ikechukwu, who arrived at HCMC’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport on June 23, 2012, was charged with illegally transporting drugs, the HCMC People’s Court said.
While examining Ikechukwu’s luggage upon his arrival, customs officers discovered 19 bags of white powder hidden in 16 metal cylinders and a laptop adapter. Tests conducted later showed that the powder was methamphetamine, a kind of synthetic drug.
Ikechukwu was arrested the same day and confessed that he was carrying the cylinders and adapter for a man named Onyekachi, who is still at large.
According to Ikechukwu’s testimony, Onyekachi said that when he arrived in Vietnam, someone would contact him to take pick up the goods.
Under Vietnam’s Penal Code, those who are convicted of smuggling more than 2.5 kilograms of methamphetamine will be given a death sentence.
The capital penalty is also applied for those who are indicted for producing or selling 100 grams of heroin or 300 grams of other illegal narcotics.
Several foreigners have recently been sentenced to death for smuggling drugs into Vietnam.
In June 2012, a Ho Chi Minh City court handed down the death penalty to a 23-year-old female student from Thailand for trafficking three kilograms of methamphetamine from Benin to Vietnam.
Death penalty statistics are not released in Vietnam, but the punishment is handed down most frequently to those convicted of murder or drug-trafficking.
Vietnam officially switched from the firing squad to lethal injection in November 2011.
However, a lack of lethal injection doses led to a delay of executions because the original decree stipulated that the drugs be imported from the European Union (EU).
On February 2, 2012 the southern Tay Ninh provincial court sentenced Chinese national Zhu Yin Xiang, 48, to death for trafficking over 1.3kg of heroin from Cambodia into Vietnam . Xiang was arrested on August 16, 2012, at the Moc Bai boder gate in the province .
Last October, a court also sentenced a 61-year-old Filipino woman to death for smuggling five kilograms of methamphetamine into the country.
In regards to the execution of death sentences, Vietnam switched from the firing squad to lethal injection in November 2011, under a decree from the Law on Criminal Verdict Execution, approved by the National Assembly in 2009.
However, the new execution method took years to implement due to a failure to import the necessary materials from the European Union (EU), which banned the exportation of lethal injection drugs because it considers capital punishment a violation of human rights.
Therefore, the Government amended the decree, allowing domestically produced drugs to be used for executions.
The decree took effect on June 27 and the first execution by lethal injection was carried out in Hanoi on August 6.
The EU banned the exportation of lethal injection drugs because it regards capital punishment to be a violation of human rights.
The Vietnamese government later amended the decree, which took effect on June 27, allowing domestic-made drugs.
Last August, Vietnam executed its first prisoner by lethal injection , ending a two-year pause in capital punishment.
There are currently 586 people on the death row in the country.

Another plane crash averted in Abuja
read more.....
Another day, another plane mishap news. Another
air disaster was averted at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja yesterday Monday October 28th
as a Med-View Airlines aircraft carrying 150 passengers from Lagos suddenly took to the air
again at the point of landing in Abuja, Punch reports.
The pilot told the passengers that he took to the air again to avoid a collision with another aircraft on the tarmac. The airline Flight VL2104 took off from the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos at noon and was scheduled to land in Abuja at about 1.05pm.
The pilot had already announced final descent into Abuja and asked all passengers and cabin crew to fasten their seat belts but the pilot suddenly took off to the air again with barely 30 seconds to touch ground.
After about three minutes of gaining altitude, the pilot announced that he decided to take off again to avoid colliding with an aircraft that was on ground.
He said that after he had been granted clearance to land, it was later discovered that the other aircraft was not fast enough, hence his decision to take off.
The aircraft hovered for another 20mins in the air before finally landing at about 1.30pm.
Jonathan moves against Oduah, as another minister is made to sign BASA
The Bilateral Air Services Agreement is supposed to be signed by
Nigeria's Minister of Aviation but when it happened a few days ago in
Israel, it wasn't Stella Oduah that signed it. In a move to show that he
is serious about probing Ms Oduah over the N225m bulletproof cars
bought for her by the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority, President Jonathan asked the Minister of State I,
Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, to sign the agreement on behalf
of
the Federal Government. (Pictured above).
Thing is, BASA has nothing to do with the Foreign Affairs Ministry. The other thing is, Stella Oduah was present at the signing...but she sat with other Nigerian delegates as an observer.
While explaining why she joined Pres. Jonathan's delegation to Israel last week, her special adviser on media, Mr. Joe Obi, said it was to sign the BASA. President Jonathan decided at the last minute to keep her from signing on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. See a pic of Stella Oduah at the BASA signing after the cut...
