CRIME: NIGERIAN MAN AMONG 5 TO BE EXECUTED FOR DRUGS CRIME IN INDONESIA !!!

Indonesia’s Attorney General HM Prasetyo confirmed on Thursday that five people, four men and a woman would face firing squad this Sunday. According to Jakarta Post.

“We have prepared everything; the firing squad, clergymen and doctors. The executions will be done simultaneously, not one by one,” he said.

Prasetyo added that those scheduled for execution had been notified on Jan. 14.


“They were told at least three days beforehand so they could mentally prepare and give their final requests,” he said, adding that families and respective embassies had also been informed.

All six convicts requested clemency, but those requests were rejected by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on Dec. 30 last year.

The President has vowed to show no mercy for drug convicts, as Indonesia has become a major market for global drug trafficking.

Prasetyo said the executions would demonstrate the government’s determination to crack down on drugs, adding that as many as 40 to 50 people died each day from drug use.

“The executions of the convicts will send a message to all drug rings that Indonesia is serious about fighting them. I hope that people understand we are trying to save Indonesia from the dangers of drugs,” Prasetyo said.


The five foreigners due to be executed are from Nigeria, Malawi, Vietnam, the Netherlands and Brazil.
