Another Nigerian sentenced to death in Indonesia for drug trafficking

A district court sitting in Tangerang, Jakartar in Indonesia has sentenced a Nigerian man, Simon Ezeaputa, to death following charges of drug trafficking.

According to Indonesian media, Simon, who is currently serving a 20 year jail term for offenses bothering on drug trafficking, was found guilty of running a drug cartel while in prison. He is accused to have recently engaged in a drug transaction that involved 350 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

Simon's death sentence brings to 13 the number of Nigerians currently on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking offenses.

Nigerian government has constantly appealed to the Indonesian government for clemency and prisoner exchange so that those who are on death row in Indonesia can come back home to serve jail terms rather than be executed, a request the Indonesian government has failed to answer, maintaining that the Nigerians are adult enough to bear the consequences of their actions as they are aware that drug related offences in Indonesia comes with death sentences when caught.

      Are you guys reading this at all? I feel no sympathy for him. After sentencing him to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking, he still chose to run a cartel in prison.
      Does he have sense at all? Others should learn

    They are aware it is a death penalty offense before embarking on the journey. Be man enough to face the music.

    Although i don't support death penalty because of false accusations. We have seen cases people spent 25yrs in prison crime they did not commit only to be released latter

    life imprisonment would have been better although this is a cost to govt.

    It is sad that when they kill Nigerians for drug trafficking in other countries people don't name tag but when gen buhari did it he was called all sorts of names perhaps if he had been left to do it that way the population of people engaged in this desperate attempts to make money would have reduced because sometimes prison sentence is not always d solution.
