Indonesian ambassador summoned by FG over the execution of two Nigerians yesterday

The Federal government through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, has summoned the Indonesian ambassador to Nigeria to protest the execution of two Nigerians by firing squad in Indonesian recently.

In a statement signed by the Foreign Affairs ministry’s Director of Public Communication, Ogbole Amedu-Ode yesterday January 18th, FG alleged that 2 Nigerians instead of one earlier made known to them by the Indonesian government were killed at Sunday's execution.

According to the statement, the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, approved the execution of only one Nigerian identified as Daniel Emenuo aka Diarrassoube Mamadou in the list of six condemned drugs convicts in December 2014.

However another Nigerian Solomon Okafor who was mistaken for a Malawian named Namaona Denis was also killed during the execution. The federal government says the Indonesian government executed both men despite pleas for clemency
"The executions were carried out despite persistent pleas for clemency made by the federal government, including the National Assembly. The executions had taken place against the grain of the excellent relations that subsist between Nigeria and Indonesia. Thus, the foreign minister has summoned the Indonesian Ambassador to register Nigeria’s protest" the statement read.
The Federal government expressed their condolence to the families of the two men executed and also warned Nigerians to desist from drug trafficking.

Even though I don't support the drug trafficking, I wonder why they even got into it knowing the VERY stringent laws Indonesia have... may their souls rest in peace.

Unknown said...

Why summon them now the deed is done? Since 2004 they kept quiet and did nothing. Now they will soon "set up a committee to start investigating". A country that won't take its citizens as priority, why will other countries do?

Eeemmm am sorry fg... but shouldnt this be done before the execution? correct me if am wrong, but this FG is filled with illiterate, greedy, selfish and unprofessional. most of all they are an embodiment of what the human race does not stand for.

Linda, in your magnanimous heart, can we stage a kind of seminar in all igbo markets in lagos and outside, highlighting the dangers in going to malasia, because 99.9% of the people executed are all igbos. I tell them there is no decent job in malasia,but my illiterate brothers wont listen, all they think about is the cash they most often end up not making

Let's me real here, drug laws in that country weren't stipulated last week. The punishment for drug trafficking on that end is DEATH. If you therefore choose to smuggle drugs in such a country, execution is a very REAL occupational hazard you could face.

So, FG is dramatizing because 2ppl were killed for trafficking in a country that is HIGHLY intolerant of drugs and OPENLY states their penalty. But, over 2000 people have been slaughtered in your own backyard just for being alive and you're still debating numbers...seriously??

Whats wrong with 1+1=2?

You smuggle + get caught = you die

simple mathematics...

Clemency so more drug traffickers join da party? LMFAO! F
