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.
