A Cambodian Municipal Court yesterday June 11th
sentenced 36 year old Nigerian woman, Collin
Seniola Bosede to 25 years in prison for
international drug trafficking after being found with
1.5kg of methamphetamine in her bag at the
Phnom Penh International Airport in August 2013.
Bosede, who was travelling
to Cambodia from
Nigeria on August 4th made a stop at Qatar where
according to her confessional statement, she met
with a Canadian man named Amad who handed
her a bag containing cassette players, the drug,
clothes and a laptop and asked her to give it to an
unidentified man in Cambodia. She was arrested as
she landed at the Phnom Penh Airport.
During her trial on May 27th 2014, Bosede said
she did not know the bag contained any drug as
what she saw was only the laptop and the clothes
in the bag. As the court read the verdict
yesterday, she began crying. "It was very unjust. I
was not the drug trafficker. Please release me. I
want to go back home,” Bosede said.
