Fourteen Nigerians have already been moved to a jail in Medina apparently in preparation for the hangman’s noose. That has sent shivers down their spines forcing them to dispatch a Save-Our-Souls message to President Muhammadu Buhari to do all within his powers to save them from being slaughtered like cows.
They were 15 in number but one of them was executed last year as a common criminal.
The one killed, known as Yusuf Yakubu Ajiboye from Kwara State was arrested, hurriedly tried and subsequently killed. This makes the remaining fourteen to entertain fear for their lives with the conclusion that the long knife was indeed awaiting them.
These men have also pleaded with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to look into the charges preferred against them and see if indeed, they have been given fair hearing for the offences they they have been accused of.
Another aspect is the way the Saudi authorities have treated the Nigerians under the law.
“They claim that we peddled drugs and committed other drug-related offences, which according to them carry death penalty but we want Nigeria to intervene and give us another chance to live,” the suspect pleaded on behalf of the rest being detained in preparation for their execution in the Middle East country.
Here are some names of Nigerians waiting for judgment: Lolo Babatunde, Biola Lawal, Hafis Amosu, Jimoh Ishola, Tunde Ibrahim, Abdurimi Aweda, Adam Abubakar, Amode Tunde, Adewumi Adepoju, Saka Riyau, Aliu Muhammed, Abdul Raman, Yekini Yahaya and two other women. Many other Nigerians arrested for drug-related offences have also been detained at Jedda,
