rosecutors indicted Elele 'Uzo' Uzoma Alpha, a 33-year-old Nigerian, on multiple charges of crystal methamphetamine, or meth, possession during a hearing at Depok District Court on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Arnold Siahaan said Uzo was charged with violating a number of articles of the 2009 Narcotics Law, which carries a maximum sentence of death.
'Based on the confiscated evidence, Uzo may face the death penalty,' he said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Four kilograms of meth and 4 grams of marijuana were found in Uzo's apartment at Margonda Residence, Depok, in December 2014.
He was initially arrested for not having a Temporary Stay Permit (KITAS) during a raid. A subsequent urine test came up positive for narcotics.
Yayan Kusnaedi of the Depok branch of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), meanwhile, alleged that Uzo had received the drugs from a convict named Tobi at Cipinang Penitentiary.
