Relatives and friends of 21
Nigerians in Indonesia who have been condemned to death, have marched to the
Indonesia Embassy in Lagos to protest the death of the condemned Nigerians.
According to them, about 2008 Nigerians have been killed so far in Indonesia
and 21 are about to be executed too. They urged the Federal Government to
intervene urgently to save the lives of their loved ones, adding that any delay
to act could be dangerous.
They say most Nigerians in the
country live in palpable fear because of the recent hostile actions they have
been getting from Indonesian Government.
The relatives were ‘armed’ with
numerous placards, some of which read: ‘Stop Indonesia from executing more
Nigerians in Prison’, ‘Execution is not a solution’, End death penalty, Stop
the killing of Nigerians in Indonesia Prison’, President Goodluck Jonathan do
something to stop the killing,’ and ‘Don’t allow them to kill us like animals”.
Among the Nigerians on death row in
Indonesia prison, according to a list made available are Kingsley Okonkwo,
Michael Titus Igwe, Izuchukwu Ezioha, Ekperedike S. Olekama, Adam
Wilson, Hilary K. Chinezie, Eugene Ape, Humprey Ejike, Okwudil Ayotaeze, Obinna
Nwajiagu, Fredrick Luther ( Benjamin Obiora) Sylvester Nwaolisa, Dennis Anumora
and Ikenna Ezenweukwe. One Gabriel Nnadi died in prison, while another
detainee, Daniel Enemon, was killed recently and buried Last week February 6,
2015 in Enugu.
