23 Nigerians On Saudi Death Row: Buhari Regime Says It's Working To Get 'Just' Solution

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says 23 Nigerians convicted for drug offences in Saudi Arabia have not been executed yet.

According to the ministry, the President Muhammadu Buhari regime is doing its best to get the convicts off the death row.

The suspects were arrested between 2016 and 2017 at King Abdul-Aziz International Airport, Jeddah, and Prince Muhammad Bin Abdu-Aziz International Airport, Madinah.

The ministry, in a statement on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Ferdinand Nwonye, said it was in contact with the Nigerian embassy in Saudi Arabia.

Ferdinand said, “The federal government is, therefore, engaging the Saudi authorities through diplomatic channels with a view to finding a just solution.”
