12 more Nigerians on death row in Indonesia

Two days after two Nigerian convicted drug traffickers were executed, it's revealed that 12 more are currently on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking offenses.

Revealing this to news men in Abuja yesterday January 19th, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign affairs, Amb. Danjuma Sheni, said the Federal government has appealed to the government of Indonesia to show clemency to the 12 Nigerians who are on death roll so they will not be executed like the two Nigerians Daniel Emenuo and Okafor Solomon, who were executed last Sunday January 18th in the country for drug trafficking.

The Permanent secretary spoke to newsmen after a meeting with the Indonesian Ambassador to Nigeria, Eko Indiarto, yesterday in Abuja to protest the execution of the Nigerians even after much plea made by President Jonathan and the National assembly

“Every country determines for itself the kind of action it takes. In the case of Nigerians and as you have just seen, we have protested very vehemently the execution and we are still looking at other options. That (recalling Ambassador) may be along the line, but we are looking at other options. I have just appealed to the government and people of Indonesia to show some clemency as we move forward with regards to the 12 other Nigerians still on death row in that country. We hope at the end of the day, there will be some form of clemency for our people and we do not hope, as of now, that it will have any significant impact on our relationship.” he said

Amb. Sheni said the Federal government is in talks with the Indonesian government to agree on a Prisoner Transfer Agreement so that those on Death row would be sent back to Nigeria to serve their prison time.

  30. I really do hope that they succeed. In as much as I agree that what they have done is culturally abominable over there, I also feel any offence that did not involve killing should not attract the ultimate punishment. A jail term is enough punishment. please and please let us all stay away from heinous behaviour.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Well, I don't knw if dis is nice arrangement...

    It encouraging Nigerians to do drugs over there after all if they r caught they wil b sent home to prison.

    Dis wil not discourage Nigerians frm doing drugs.

  95. Our govt was sleeping when the sentence was passed on the first set of people that were executed. What is the job of our ambassador who is being paid from the hard earned money of the populace? Is this possible in Nigeria? Will the country not intervene on behalf of their citizen? Nigeria govt need to intervene under the law of the diplomatic law and come to the rescue of these fellows if possible.
    Again why did the individuals choose to violate the law of other nations when they know the consequences? Why deal in hard drug when they know the penalty in those countries? Toks

    ReplyDelete
  96. But our government doesn't even need to intervene in that sort of thing; someone knows the punishment for drug trafficking in Indonesia and goes ahead to traffick drug in the country. What was he thinking? A typical Nigeria father would disown that kind of child, and Nigeria should denounce them. If it was a case of maltreatment or something, it would make sense for our government to intervene. let them pay so others can learn

    ReplyDelete
  97. Which way Nigeria? What are you guys saying? Our government is now to blame for one of us going out there to commit a crime that attracts death penalty? A crime he committed with his eyes wide open, knowing the consequence. Thats why we are where we are, we think mercy all the time, we think everything is forgivable.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Nigerian with their funny comments, the culprits knew that any drug related crimes in that country is by death. Why the involvements? Abeg Indonesia carry out the execution without delay. Indonesia its not Nigeria where you go free in all crimes, even those who stole billions of Naira and proved guilty in our so court of law!!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Prison that everybody is breaking out of? Prison that doesn't have space?? I'm sorry, but these people knew what they were getting into. Why are human beings unwilling to face their punishment?? If you lie, steal, cheat, overeat, borrow other people's husbands...there are consequences!! Face it!

  106. They could have stayed in Nigeria and taken advantage of the booming agricultural sector. Oops, I forgot farming is not glamorous work and you have to wake up early everyday. They made their bed and now they can rest in peace in it. Make a different choice for your lives gentlemen in the next life.

    ReplyDelete
  107. a few seconds
    Truth be told, drug trafficking is no mistake. Nigerians are known around the word for neferous activities. This will serve as deterrent to Nigerians who will learn. If those prisoners are transferred to Nigeria, U and me know our crappy justice system, they will pay their way out.
