Five foreigners were on Monday beheaded by Saudi Arabia for murder and robbery. According to a statement by the ministry of interior, those beheaded in the Red Sea city of Jeddah were; two Yemenis, Khaled Fetini and Ibrahim Nasser; a Chadian, Hassan Omar; an Eritrean, Salem Idriss; and Abdel Wahhab Abdel Maeen from Sudan.

Monday's beheadings, an unusually number, brings to 78 the number of locals and foreigners executed in Saudi Arabia this year alone, compared to 87 for all of last year, according to AFP tallies. Deterrence was been cited as a reason for executing the punishment. The punishment for drug trafficking, rape, murder, apostasy and armed robber, under the Gulf nation’s strict version of Islamic sharia law is death.

Hmmm.. now, isn't this barbaric? When we thought we've seen the worst from Indonesia

Wait! Isn't this ISIL's signature way of killing? This thing dey blood abeg

A Nigerian drug dealer is not amongst them? So my nna brothers fear Saudi Arabia?

Some country laws are very strict let us tread carefully when we go there.

Why the obsession with beheading human beings? Why is that the penalty for offenders is death in some of these countries? Don't they believe in rehabilitation, forgiveness and second chance. Has the killing or beheading been able to serve as deterrent to others when the number of offenders keep increasing? As for the foreigners, why not stay in your country and let them enjoy their harsh laws?

I am just glad I am African and a Nigerian because nobody could influence his place of birth. I guess some are much lucky than others.

There was once this medical Dr, a christian who loved to eat a lot meat. While on sabbatical in Saudi, he went to a restaurant and asked for pork.
The waiter couldn't believe what he was hearing so he asked him again and again in both english and arabic. The guy maintained he wanted pork and it wasn't on the menu, could he have some pork please..

The waiter said, "Wait, let me go and get your pork..."

The rest is a very funny story..Lol !
