The court said there was little doubt Moses Chinedu Nwosu, 50, was guilty of the crime - punishable with death by hanging - after the drugs were seized from him on the night of March 25, 2011.
Mr. Nwosu had claimed that the drugs carried in a black bag belonged to another man he was travelling with from the Thai border to the northern Malaysian town of Alor Setar.
“However, according to a witness, Moses was seen carrying the black bag… and its key was found in his pocket,” the judge said.
His death sentence is the latest in a clampdown by Malaysian authorities on foreign drug traffickers.
