Barely a week after Indonesia put four Nigerians to death by firing squad for drug and other related offences, the country is to execute eight more Nigerians for the same offence. The United Nigerians In Diaspora (UNID), while making this known in Lagos on Tuesday condemned what it called the lackadaiscal attitude of the Federal Government towards the recent execution of four Nigerians in that country and called on it to prevail on the Indonesian government not to kill the next 8 convicts.
UNID president, Paschal Okolie, while briefing newsmen in Lagos gave the names of those presently awaiting execution in Indonesia as Michael Titus Igwe, Kingsley Okonkwo, Uchenna Onyewuru, Eugene Ape, Humphrey Ejike, Obinna Nwajiagu, Benjamin Onuoha and Ikenna Abanukwu. Although, the group condemned drug trafficking, it called on the good people of Nigeria to rise against the impending execution in Indonesia.
