RIP...SINGAPORE SAYS HE is a graduate of Industrial Chemistry from UNIBEN in 2005

Obioha, a graduate of Industrial Chemistry from University of Benin, was convicted on 30 December 2008 after he moved to Singapore in 2005, seeking to join a football club.

On April 9, 2007, Chijioke Obioha, a University of Benin industrial Chemistry graduate was found in possession of more than 2.6 kilograms of cannabis, surpassing the amount of 500 grams that triggers the automatic presumption of trafficking under Singapore law.

His appeal against the conviction and sentence was rejected in August 2010. After the rejection of his clemency appeal in April 2015, his execution was set for May 15, 2015. The Court of Appeal later lifted the stay of execution with effect from October 24, resulting in the execution date set for November 18th.
