PROTEST AGAINST THE EXECUTION OF NIGERIANS

We strongly protest and resent the execution of our Nigerian nationals by the Indonesian government for drug related offences against the numerous pleas for clemency by the Federal Government of Nigeria and other well-meaning countries and personaties world-wide

We state for the uptenth fire, that death penalty especially by firing squad in uncivilized, barbaric and does not serve any usual purpose to humanity.

We are particularly irked by the defiance and insensitivity of the Indonesian Authorities to listen to the pleas of the good people of Nigeria and our government to save the lives of our offending Nationals and others in reciprocation of the mutual friendly relationship existing between both countries

It is on this note that this body- Nigerian In Diaspora Integrated Project (NIDIP) hereby register it displeasure of this development and appeal against a repetition of this re-occurrence in the future.

Please accept our warmest regards

High Chief (Hon.) Dr. Caro Nwosu
President
