An Indonesian court has dismissed a legal challenge by a 42-year-old Nigerian, Raheem Agbaje-Salami, who is on a death row for drug peddling.

President Joko Widodo has also rejected clemency representations from Nigerian authorities.

Judge Hendro Puspito of the Administrative Court in East Jakarta said on Monday that the court had no jurisdiction over presidential decisions.

Agbaje-Salami, alias Jamiu Owolabi Abashin, from the southern Spanish city of Cordova, was arrested in 1998 for smuggling 5.3 kg of heroin into Surabaya, the capital of East Java province.

He was taken on Wednesday from a prison in East Java to a prison island off the southern coast of Java where he was due to be executed later this month with up to nine other death-row inmates.

Salami, along with nine other drug traffickers from Australia, French, Brazil, Ghana and Indonesia, are expected to be executed soon in Nusakambangan island of Central Java. President Widodo remained tough on the death penalty amid intensive efforts for clemency from Australia, French and Brazil.

Two other Nigerian drug traffickers are also scheduled to be executed this month after requests for presidential clemency were rejected. Xinhua/NAN.

sai baba

Just think about it, many of the couriers dying for drug cases would have only enjoyed a tiny fraction of it if they had succeeded.

4 to 5000 dollars at most for each suicide mission? Does it worth it.

These are amounts of money one can make in NIGERIA legimately with careful planning and patience, but no, they won't. Smart fools!

This is a working President,despite all the pleas and bargains by world powers to let them release their detained citizens,he still didn't give in.
Give us Joko and take clueless.

Awww RIP in advance these people are strict with drug related issues

Asians don't play with drug sentence




So shine ur eyes well well.

No be today issue na.

.dem wan kill pesin u dey say good,
na so dem dey preach for una church

Rip to dem in advance. This was what buhari kicked against in the first place, but now they were labelling him a wicked man. If Nigeria has taken serious punishment for these drug barons they might not have strong mind to push it to other countries. Majority of those arrested are always treated with Kings hand now a days. I wonder what will be going on on the mind of their relatives now.
Drug doesn't pay.

Hmmm

Salami, along with nine other drug traffickers from
Australia, French, Brazil, Ghana and Indonesia, are
expected to be executed soon in Nusakambangan
island of Central Java. President Widodo remained
tough on the death penalty amid intensive efforts for
clemency from Australia, French and Brazil.

French & Australia? If they are going to execute the traffickers from these two countries too then Nigeria authority should just forget about it. Indonesia is damn serious about this drug law...

Just hope Nigerianswilll one day love life and have a change of mind on drug trafficking.

I feel sorry for the man. Those Asians don't play with drug sentence

rip fool

Nigeria men hustling for money since 1759

#FastMoney #FastDeath Hard work pays!!!

Its hard to feel sorry for these smugglers, you know the tough stance these Asian countries take on narcotic smuggling, yet people wan try.. I guess their moto na get rich or die trying.

These Asians are heartless! They hardly forgive. I've lost count with the number of Nigerians executed in Asian countries (Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia) for drug trafficking.
Best bait is to do to them as much as they do to us. . .









Any Chinko with fake passport should be hanged!

Hmmmm this will serve as a warning to others

But why?

Good, the law of that land must be obeyed. There is even an Indonesian among those to be executed.

OK

Chai, so sad, money, money, money, the love of money is the root of all evil, is it not better, he sweeps the street of Spain and get paid (evn if the money is small) than to die by firing squad, after spending about 17yrs in jail........
