Execution Of A Nigerian In Singapore, Heartbreaking - Abike Dabiri-erewa by mkoolayinka(f): 8:02pm On Nov 18, 2016
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa has described the execution of a Nigerian in Singapore on Friday for drug related offences as heartbreaking.


In a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Abdur-Rahman Balogun in Abuja said that the planned execution was heartbreaking despite repeated warnings to Nigerians to obey the laws of the land of their host countries.




Dabiri-Erewa said since Singapore determined to enforce its laws as a deterrent to drug trafficking, which has reduced as a result of its stringent capital punishment , nothing much can be done

"While we regret the death of the Nigerian, we once again appeal to Nigerians to avoid crimes like drug trafficking with most countries especially in Asia declaring zero tolerance for drug trafficking.", Dabiri-Erewa stated.


She reiterated her appeal to Nigerians to avoid drug peddling in their host countries as laws of countries, whether acceptable or not, will be difficult to influence.

A Nigerian, Chijoke Obioha was caught in Singapore trafficking in hard drugs on December 30, 2008 with his execution slated for Friday November 18.


Obioha was arrested with more than 2.6 kilograms of cannabis, surpassing the statutory amount of 500 grams presumed as drug trafficking in Singapore on April 9, 2007

The Amnesty International had called on Singapore to immediately halt Friday’s planned execution of Chijoke Stephen Obioha, a Nigerian national on death row for possession of drugs.


Obioha’s family was informed that his appeal for clemency has been rejected.

The number of these people in the Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Singaporean, Cambodian, Indian, Chinese and South African Prison for Cocaine trafficking offence is in the excess of 1Million.

The proclivity of these people toward crime is second to none. The predisposition of these people toward making dirty money through illegitimate means is unrivaled. These people are the only one soiling the image of this country.

I am sick and tired of these people. Infact, I am sad

I thought Singapore is more civilised than taking precious life just like that.

In as much a the crime of drug trafficking is heinous it should not result to capital punishment.

This is sad!

Guys, this 'get rich or die trying' syndrome is getting a lot of our promising and potential great men killed on a daily basis. A lot of mind re-engineering needs to be done to aviod this loop, else we will continue losing great Nigerians to the 'claws' of drug trafficking by death.

God help this generation!!!

They'd still be drug traffickers, counterfeit products manufacturers, crave money at the expense of their very lives, and excel positively in other aspects of human endeavor even if you give them Biafra today. I don't think much would change.

the fact that people don't understand is that those u see on the news been executed are mere decoys and scape goats...

the main drug lords are busy chilling with bitchis in their yatcht ,night clubs and hotels while their boys takes the risk...

even those dope lords got people on the inside in the sense that they can't be touched and if they are touched.. u go down with them..

dope selling is good when u are not the errand boy..

although it gets blodier sometimes..
