Four Nigerians will be executed in Indonesia tomorrow

by Chinwe Okafor

Four Nigerians along with 6 other nationals will be executed for drug related offenses in Indonesia tomorrow April 25th.

This isn’t the first time such incident would be occurring.

A Nigerian, Raheem Agbaje-Salami, 42, once faced execution in Indonesia for drug smuggling in March.

Two more were already scheduled to be executed later in the same month after requests for presidential clemency were rejected.

According to an Indonesian foreign Affairs official, the convicts will be taken to Nusakambangan, the prison island off Java where they are to be executed.

Australian and Nigerian government have been clamoring for clemency for the drug offenders but their plea appears to have fallen on deaf ears as the Indonesian government has finalized plans to execute the drug traffickers.

It is a law in Indonesia that anyone, both foreigners and locals, caught with banned drugs will be executed.
