Osuji Kelly Prince, a Nigerian drug dealer, who escaped from
a detention facility in Malaysia on August 12, may have fled to Thailand.
25-year-old Prince was assisted by a 52-year-old corporal to
escape from Jinjang Detention Centre, where he was held for drugs possession.
Federal Narcotics Crime Investigation Department chief Noor
Rashid Ibrahim said he obtained this information through their intelligence
network.
“He had it planned all along and we are working with Thai
police to trace him and have him deported to Malaysia,” he said.
Prince was arrested by Malaysian authorities on August 1
with 9 kilograms of methamphetamine (called syabu in Malaysia). The drugs were
believed to be worth about N439 million (RM9 million).
The 52-year-old corporal, who had pending disciplinary
issues related to his work prior to the case, has been charged in court for
aiding Prince’s escape.
It would be reminded that according to Malaysian laws, drug
trafficking / dealing is punished by the death penalty. The latest example is
the Nigerian student, Ugonna Philip Nwankwo, who was sentenced to death by the
Malaysian Shah Alam High Court on July 25, 2013.
