Reps Tackle China Over Killing Of 30 Nigerians

The killing of 30 Nigerians at a go by the Chinese authorities for reasons yet to be ascertained will engage the attention of members of the House of Representatives at its plenary today, even as the House is said to be opposed to the planned cremation of the corpses of the deceased.


Already, the House said it was resolved to secure the repatriation of Nigerians currently languishing in Libyan prisons, having been sentenced to various jail terms, including life sentence, over immigration issues, just as the deportees accused Nigerian Embassy staff members in Libya of collecting $15,000 compensation from the Libyan government for each dead Nigerian.


The parliament said this, when its Committee on Diaspora headed by Honourable Abike Dabiri- Erewa, received in audience some Nigerians already serving life sentence in Libya, but repatriated, based on intervention of some Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs), including the one in which Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana, was involved.


The House slated the debate on the killing of 30 Nigerians in China, following a motion of urgent public importance raised by Honourable Austin Nwachukwu, on the floor of the chamber.


According to the lawmaker, who had to seek the leave of the 360- member parliament before moving the motion, in line with the House rules, the affected Nigerians were the largest number that were ever executed at a go anywhere, while calling the attention of the members to the condemnable act.


The lawmaker noted that it was surprising that nobody had been able to establish the reason that led to execution of the affected people, saying that the Chinese authorities did not give any reason for the development.

China has never sentenced any Nigerian to death for being illegal.
Some people like drawing sympathy for themselves or their friends by having us believe that such punishment is about immigration while it has to do with drugs, 419 or murder.

The standard fine for illegal immigrants is $700 and a flight ticket of which you will be sent straight to the airport.

I do not give a damn if they were Liberians, americans or Chinese. If you enter a contry illegally then U deserve whatever comes your way. Rules are not meant to be broken especially after several warnings. No one said that life was gonna be easy.

@  SeanT21

You must be a heartless moron to suggest that illegal migrants deserve to be executed because they have travelled to a foreign land on their own volition.

Don't you understand the concept of compassion and the sanctity of life, or are these alien ideas because of your limited education.

I wonder how you will feel if a close relative of yours is executed in a foreign land on the basis of the person overstaying his or her visa and thereby becoming an illegal immigrant.

Show some sense and intelligence to understand the issue goes beyond illegal migration.

Nigerians know that its death penalty for drug trafficking here. . . . Americans or the British are not spared. Its even worst for a Chinese national to use not to talk of trading on it.  But some Nigerians will have you believe that the Chinese govt is killing people for being illegal immigrants. LIES!

@SeanT21::

So we should kill all the illegal Chinese citizens in Nigeria? IS that how to make the world a better place?
YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO CIVILIZATION!!

I Concur. She is.

I agree with you, the killing can never be as a result of immigration issues its beyond it. What are they even looking for in China of all places

Why wasnt the ambassador mentioned in the whole article?
Was he the one that gave them this information?
Why wasnt he summoned immediately?

All these are all lies and if anyone doubts it. . . . give the embassy in Beijing or consulate in Shanghai a call and hear from them.
That doesnt mean that the Chinese government is totally clean, but executing 30 person for being illegal is the biggest lie of the century.
