Three Nigerians were yesterday beheaded in Saudi Arabia. They had been found guilty of robbing and murdering fellow Nigerian, Omar Mohammed Adam. This was announced by the Saudi Interior Ministry and publicised by the official SPA news agency.
Mohammed Ismail, Abdulqudus Adam and Mohammed Kabir Ali broke into the house of Omar Mohammed Adam where "they beat him and his wife, tied them down and strangled Omar to death," the statement said. Then they burgled their compatriot's home, it added.
The beheadings in the western Red Sea city of Jeddah brings the number of executions in that country to 31 since January 1.
On June 10, London-based watchdog Amnesty International called on Saudi Arabia to stop applying the death penalty, saying there had been a significant rise in the number of executions in the previous six weeks. According to Amnesty, 15 people were executed in May alone.
In 2009, the number of executions was 67, compared to 102 the previous year.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.
hia no be their people...ehn make them kill themselves there but they should also take the ones in nigeria that are causing commotion all in the name of boko haram...
ReplyDeleteWell since we all know their laws, its either Nigerians there comply with their laws or avoid stay or visiting the country. In as much that I'm not in support of the mannerism of the execution,you may agree with me that those strict laws of Saudi makes their country saner than Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteYea abeg beheading is a little too harsh of a punishment mayne. Na weytin self, na body them dem sell kini
ReplyDeleteGod please when will Nigerians stop this wickedness against themselves and learn to live a decent life by portraying us well in other people's country?
ReplyDeleteME
Did they think they could get away with murder in Saudi Arabia? SMHISM.
ReplyDeleteSHOULD SAUDI'S BE BLAMED FOR BEHEADING THIS BEASTS IN HUMAN FORM? I THINK NO IS THE ANSWER. HOW CAN THEY KILL THEIR BROTHER IN A FOREIGN LAND WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR BROTHERS KEEPER.KUDOS TO THE SAUDI'S 4 EXECUTING THIS JUDGMENT THEY DESERVE IT
ReplyDeleteThese Arabs are barbaric
ReplyDeleteFollow their laws if not stay away from their country. Those laws they have makes their country are better place than Nigeria. Why should a man kill his fellow man for his money???
ReplyDeleteOKAY, serves them right.
ReplyDeleteHe who lives by the sword, should die by the sword. they kkilled so they should also die. If this was applicable in Nigeria, crime wouls reduce.
ReplyDeleteserves them right!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep! Nigerians are at it again. Why can't we go to other people's countries and respect their laws? Everywhere we go, we take our bad bewhaviors and disrespect for the law with us. We think this is like Nigeria where people get away with just about anything! See now!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for them. but he who kills by the sword dies by the sword!!
ReplyDeleteNkili
many people will condemn the saudis on this issue, but the big question is' will any of these critics like his or her mum, sister or wife rape and rob?. Therefore, let criminals get what they deserve. shi kena
ReplyDeleteI'm not in suppport of the death penalty but the "idiots" sounded their own death knell. In the first place ironic as it seems why would you strangle a fellow human being to death for whatever offence and secondly knowing the country in which they reside i'm sure they knew the cost if they were caught. so its a classic case of "they got their just deserts"
ReplyDeletewell, at least the Saudis run a tighter ship than Nigeria- here in Nigeria, armed robbers, drug addicts, paedophiles, kidnappers and ritualists complete their crimes and get away with impunity but at least victims will get a sense of justice under Saudi law.
ReplyDeletesometimes jungle justice is what criminals deserve..when they know the punishment is death they will think twice, and law and order will surely prevail
ReplyDeleteHmm...its good it happened in Saudi & not Nigeria..otherwise CNN will not let us hear word!
