My attention has been
drawn to a very bizarre
story of a 13 innocent
Nigerian that went to
Saudi Arabia to school
and to have more
knowledge in alquran,
who has being held in
the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia against their will.
Their plight defies all
logic and their ordeal is
without a parallel in its
cruelty, impunity and
discrimination. It
behoves the Nigerian
President. His Excellency
President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan, Hon. Aminu
Tambuwal and all
people of goodwill in
Nigeria and everywhere
in the world to act
quickly to secure the
immediate release
of these innocent
Nigerians. I was so
surprised that Nigeria
representative in
Saudi Arabia; i mean
Nigeria Ambassador in
Saudi dereliction of his
duty. These boys were
arrested alongside other
Africa like: Sudan,
Ghana; Kenya; Senegal.
But, they gained their
freedom immediately
that their Ambassador
show up; while our own
embassy did not show
up till today. A source
told me on phone that
the Nigeria consulate
are dumb and useless
here in Saudi Arabia, we
don't have true
representatives .
Nigeria Government
should pls look into this
matter urgently. There
are more than 1000
Nigeria incarcerated by
Saudi authorities
without proper
conviction. I personally
complained to the
Ambassador
Hon.Abubakar Shehu
Bunu that a lot of
Nigerians are imprisoned
without proper
conviction but nothing
has been done.
My people says if you
see a mad man working
on the street he has a
mother. If those boys
are criminals whatever
happens, they are
Nigerians, and must
receive a fair trial.
They are innocent but
they are in the prison
more than 10yrs now
under the watch of
Nigeria embassy.
Even one of them was
sentenced to death at
the age of 24yrs and is
now age of 34yrs in
detention and he will be
execute very soon.
I'm calling on our
President Goodluck
Jonathan and Hon.
Tambuwal including our
leaders to please to
save the life of this
innocent Nigerian in
Saudi prison as you
rescued Nigerians living
in Libya during their civil
war before one of them
get kill.
I reminisce how I used
to view Nigerians as the
same people. I was
never raised to believe
my tribe was superior
to my brethren’s tribe.
We were all raised as
Nigerians first before
anything and we all
used to verbally defend
Nigeria against other
country. Tribalism is
now rife among
Nigerians in diaspora,
and on the virtual World
Wide Web. It seems we
were all young back
then, and we were living
in denial and probably
tribalists on the inside,
but Nigerian on outside.
This is the letter i
received from this boys
from Saudi Arabia
prison.
Jeddah and the area
called Alruwais prison
