Nigerian Female Student Sentenced To Death In Malaysia For Drug Trafficking

A Nigerian Student in Malaysia named Mary George Unazi

was sentenced to death on Thursday for drug trafficking.

Daily Independent reports that she committed the

offense on May 10, 2011, when she was found with a bag

containing  765.9gm of metamphetamine at the KL

International Airport (KLIA) .

Unazi, 30, who attends a private college, was found guilty

of trafficking after the prosecution proved its case against

her beyond reasonable doubt. She failed to prove that the

bag was not hers.

She was subsequently charged under Section 39B(1)(a) of

the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 of Malaysia which carries a

mandatory death penalty upon conviction.
