The story is obviously false. It was concocted by the usual suspects to divert attention away from the infamous 80 arrested in the USA by the FBI.
There are no 23 Yorubas on the death row in Saudi Arabia.

But you're so wrong. So punch dey lie too?
You dey listen to FG wey no get simple truth for their mouth?
Herdsmen go kill, them go say na Libyans but will wanna give them RUGA

Keep shut. Punch got the list from bloggers, and those bloggers are mostly Igbos. That list is not verifiable from any credible source

ChristianEast:

Sad waste moslems are denying it. Kontinue if it will make you feel well.

The list was released months before the FBI list.

Pele, una go well las las

Who released the list? Only Saudi Authorities or Nigeria's ministry of foreign affairs can release such a list. That list that has been going round was compiled and released by Igbo bloggers.

pinkPUSSY:
The Federal Government is, therefore, engaging the Saudi authorities through diplomatic channels with a view to finding a just solution.”

Finding which solution with Saudi Arabia : ?,
On drug related issues? ..Joke taken too far.
They must face the the consequences of their actions which is a capital punishment... Saudi should help us send the remains of their skulls back to Ogun for proper mining

Saudi wud suddenly become Ur darling because of Ur enemies she intends to execute

It's fairly easy to confirm the identity of so called Nigerians on execution list in Saudi Arabia, just a Facebook or Google search should reveal their profile, unless they are using fake names. Most of the FBI arrested criminals are found either on Facebook or Twitter.

What sort of stupid government do we have in Nigeria? The same government that gave us the list since 2018 are the same that is denying the list they provided? What sort of stupid government does APC run?

Most of you arguing do not even know what you're arguing about. The list did not come out in April of this year. The list was highlighted in April to combat Dabiri Tribalism. The list in question was released last year by the federal government.

Many months after the Nigerian Government directed its embassy in Riyadh to intervene and stop further execution of Nigerians on death row over suspected drug offences, the officials have not succeeded, leading to the killing of no fewer than six persons within six months.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari As at the time the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama issued the directive, there were 29 Nigerian drug suspects detained in various Saudi prisons, awaiting either further trial or outright execution which takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Apparently fearing for their lives, the suspects, who are drawn from various parts of Nigeria, in a Save-Our-Soul message made to President Muhammadu Buhari and made available to Naija247news, appealed to him to wade into their case as the father of all Nigerians and save their lives.

Part of the letter reads: “All we are pleading with our President and father, Muhammadu Buhari, is to get the Saudi government to transfer us to our father land to serve our jail terms and even die in our homeland instead of being slaughtered as lower animals in a foreign land.

“We are aware and are witnesses to the fact that other countries whose citizens were arrested and detained by the Saudi government on the same charges we are being charged with, have made strong cases for their natives and they have been saved from the hangman’s noose.

“Our dear president and father, we assure you that we will not run away but will serve the full length of our prison sentence if you hear our cry and cause our repatriation to our homeland to serve out our prison terms in Nigeria.

Onyeama “May the Almighty God help you to help us, Your Excellency,” the distressed Nigerian suspects, wrote. It will be recalled that in November last year, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Onyeama, had given an indication that the President Muhammad Buhari administration had directed that the Nigerian Embassy in Riyadh should get in touch with their host country and stop the execution of the detained Nigerians in the Middle East country.

Onyeama said, “We have made very strong intercessions with the government of those countries to review the cases and of course, not to execute those prisoners. But there is a limit, these are sovereign countries and they have processes and laws.

“As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, it has been ongoing, we have been intervening at various levels with the Saudi government to spare the lives of those citizens and a number of NGOs have been working with us in order to get those Nigerian citizens off the death row,” the minister said.

But as at the time of going to the press, 22 Nigerians were still being detained in Riyadh while six had been killed, the last two, executed last month.

Here is the breakdown of those still in detention and those already executed:

Those awaiting execution: 1.AMODE SULAIMAN 2.IDRIS ADEPOJU 3.ABDULRIMI AJIBOLA 4.JIMOHN LAWA 5.TUNDE IBRAHEEM 6.HAFIS AMOSUN 7.ALIU MUHAMMED 8.LOLO BABATUNDE 9.ABDULRASAQ LAWAL 10.LOLO YEKININ 11.ABUBAKAR 12.KAWU MUHAMMED 13.MADINAH YAHYA 14.AWAU MUHAMMED 15.KAFILAT OLAJIDE 16.AYISA 17.ABDULRAMAN MUAZU 18.ABDULRAMAN DUROJAYE 19.ABUBAKAR USMAN 20.SUNNY 21.EMEKA 22.ISSA AND HIS GROUP Those already executed: 1.YUSUF YEKINI AJIBOYE 2.MUHAMMED ABUBAKRI 3.IBRAHIM CEROMA 4.ADEBAYO ADENIYI 5.MUHAMMED ISSA 6.BIOLA OLOGUNRO

APC is just full of idiots. They released a list and to give credence to their tribalist actions they are denying the same list they released. We have idiots running this government

seunmsg:
The news was manufactured by Igbos to counter the arrest of eighty Nigerians in USA by FBI. Irrelevant tribal fight is really doing a lot of damage to us. We should never tribalize crime. For a fact, Yoruba’s are also heavily into internet scam. The problem is now a national problem and should not be restricted to just a region.

You started it, and not willing to end it, so let’s continue.

Instead of us the educated youths to come together and demand our rights from this old men, we are here fighting based on religious and tribal difference, it’s alright make una enjoy, na the politicians the enjoy am more.

Philistine:
The list is obviously fake. Another Igbo lies busted again.

Oga can you read? Did you read the write up?
If you read it you will know that the government didn’t deny the fact that the did drug, but are only saying the deserve a right to fair hearing before execution.

Where did the Igbo bloggers get the list from? That is the main issue on ground
