Family Sends SOS To Jonathan Overnigerian Condemned To Death In China by henroe2k2(m): 8:25pm On Jul 15, 2014
ONITSHA – The family of Mr Daniel Asadu, a
Nigerian who was recently condemned to death in
far away Republic of China for allegedly committing
drug related offences in the Asian country, has sent
a passionate appeal to President Goodluck
Jonathan to intervene and save him from
execution.
They suggested that Jonathan should use his good
offices to persuade his Chinese counterpart to
grant a presidential pardon to their son who is
said to be already on the death row waiting for
hangman’s noose
.
In a Save Our Soul, SOS message forwarded to
Jonathan by Daniel’s elder brother, Columbus, the
family said they believed that there would be no
other saving grace for Daniel except if President
Jonathan would mount pressure on his Chinese
counterpart to save his life.
The SOS which was accompanied by strongly
worded petition, further explained that Daniel was
so much loved and cherished by his mother and
as such she could not withstand any news that her
son was dead or has been executed by the
Chinese authorities, adding that his family
remained helpless as it was a case across
international borders.
According to the petition, “time is running out for
Daniel, a bonafide son of Anambra state of Nigeria
who is now facing death sentence in China over
alleged passport forgery and drug trafficking
offences”.
The SOS recalled that Daniel was arrested by the
Chinese security operatives in 2009 on allegation
of drug-related offences and was recently
sentenced to death in Guangzhou and is expected
to be hanged any moment from now, except if any
quick intervention could come from the presidency.
It was gathered that Daniel was arrested together
with three Chinese women for the alleged offences
as well as being an illegal immigrant in China.
His counsel in Gunagzhou, Mr Liu Shuhua was
quoted as saying that Asadu made a confessional
statement to the security agents in China that he
was the one that sent a Chinese girl to pick a bag
for him which was alleged to have contained items
and drugs inside it.
In a letter addressed to Daniels’s brother,
Columbus dated December, 28, 2009, Mr Shuhua
had disclosed that the case against Daniel was a
difficult one based on the fact that the convict had
confessed that he was the one that sent for the
bag suspected to have contained the substance
said to be hard drugs.
Daniel’s lawyer, according to the statement, said
that Daniel said he made the statement under
duress, having been forced by the Chinese police
to make it at gun-point. The lawyer had pleaded
with the judge to temper justice with mercy.
“I went to Haikou and checked all the files and
found out that for three times, Asadu confessed
that he instructed the girl to fetch the bags. And
this time, he asked the girl to carry the two bags
from four other persons now at large, said the
lawyer, adding, I also copied the recordings of the
messages between the girl and Asadu. I talked with
the judge and he told me that the case will be
decided on the evidence”.
The family protested that Daniel had been
condemned to death by the Chinese government
even as he was charged and tried in Chinese
language, arguing that he does not understand
Chinese language as to use it to defend himself.
