Any Nigerians found guilty shouldn't be killed but just simply detach their heads from their necks and let them go and play with it.

Nigeria currently has the highest number of foreigners who have been sentenced to death in Malaysia.

A new report by Amnesty International, a human rights organisation, has revealed that 119 Nigerians are currently on death row in Malaysia.
The death penalty is currently retained as the punishment for 33 offences in the Asian country and is mandatory for 12 of these, according to the report, "Fatally flawed: Why Malaysia must abolish the death penalty".

As of February 2019, Amnesty reported, a total of 1,281 people were on death row in Malaysia, including 568 (44%) foreign nationals.

Of these foreign nationals, 21% are Nigerians, with others from Indonesia (16%), Iran (15%), India (10%), Philippines (8%) and Thailand (6%) and other countries.

73% of the total 1,281 inmates on death row were convicted for drug trafficking, while 25% were convicted for murder. The remaining were convicted for offences related to the use of firearms, robbery, and waging war against the King or Ruler of a State.

Amnesty's report showed that those on death row for drug trafficking were frequently convicted after they were found in possession of and transporting relatively small quantities of drugs without having committed or being involved in any form of violence.

They are also classified as people at the low-end of the drug chain (drug couriers) who often claim to have been tricked, lured, or forced into the drug trade.

In its report, Amnesty documented many violations of international human rights law and standards associated with the use of the death penalty in Malaysia.

"Our research found a pattern of unfair trials and secretive hangings that itself spoke volumes. From allegations of torture and other ill-treatment to an opaque pardons process, it's clear the death penalty is a stain on Malaysia's criminal justice system," said Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, Executive Director of Amnesty International Malaysia.

In July 2018, the Malaysian government established a moratorium on executions, a temporary prohibition that means the convicts won't have their sentences carried out.

Even though the government previously committed to a full abolition of the death penalty, it is expected to soon table legislation in the Malaysian Parliament that'll remove the mandatory death penalty for only 11 offences.

Amnesty called on the government to completely abolish the death penalty for all crimes and review all cases where people have been sentenced to death, with a view to commuting the sentences.

"Malaysia has a golden chance to break with decades of cruelty and injustice, disproportionately inflicted on some of the most marginalised," said Kaliemuthu.

and Nigerians wonder why they're dislike or hated,in almost every country on earth! In South Africa they make no less than 5-20% of the total prison population. And since there is a call for death penalty to be brought back,they will definately make majority of foreigners executed here too. Is seems like crime is in your DNA (That's for majority of you guys)

The poor state of the economy is no excuse for the level of drug trafficking Nigerians are engaging in.

India is not as rich as Nigeria in terms of Per Capita income yet there are 2 Nigerians for every 1 Indian on death row. This is despite the fact that India's population is at least 6 times ours. Also, India isn't too far from Malaysia while Nigeria is a world away and yet, Nigeria no carry last.

Nigerians are disproportionately represented which ever way you look at it.


I think this proves that poverty isn't the cause of crime commuted by Nigerians abroad.

Good for them.
Any Nigerian caught doing drugs abroad and convicted beyond reasonable doubt should be executed immediately. These few unscrupulous individuals are causing us so much problems that the integrity of ALL of us is now being questioned everywhere we go. Even our certificates are more likely to be rejected simply because we are Nigerians!

Truth in this, though our leaders cruelty, seem to put a final nail to the coffin of whatever good that may be left of our battered image.
Doubt it would have been this bad if not our lack of good leadership.
