PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court today affirmed the death penalty imposed on a 71-year-old Pakistani ex-rickshaw driver while two Nigerians escaped the gallows for trafficking methamphetamine in three separate cases.

The Nigerians, one of them married to a local, had their charges reduced to possession and pleaded guilty to the offence.

A three-member bench, chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, dismissed Pakistani Akhlaq Hussain’s appeal for trafficking nearly 1.3kg of methamphetamine.
