Another Nigerian has been arrested at Jeddah Airport, in Saudi Arabia, for allegedly smuggling about 1,138g of cocaine, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa said on Friday.

Dabiri-Erewa in an interview with newsmen in Abuja expressed disappointment that this was coming shortly after a Nigerian lady was executed in the same country for a related offence.


“The sad thing is that in the midst of talking about 20 Nigerians on death row, even as eight had been executed, just yesterday (Thursday), another Nigerian, Wahid Somade, was arrested at Jeddah Airport with about 1,138g of cocaine.

“The latest one would be added to those that could be executed.

“We keep appealing to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure that their trial is fair,” Dabiri-Erewa said.


On the execution of a Nigerian for drug-related offences on Monday, the presidential aide appealed to Nigerians to obey the laws of countries they go.

“After informing her family, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially released the name of the lady that was executed in Saudi Arabia a few days ago and her name is Kudirat Afolabi, a widow and a mother of two.


“We pay our condolence to the family and keep begging Nigerians to obey the laws of other countries; and Saudi has replied us officially, saying their law is their law.

“However, diplomatic engagement will continue at the highest level.

“It does not matter where you come from, you hold a green passport. Do not let a few people denigrate everyone of us,” she said.


Dabiri-Erewa, however, stressed the need to celebrate the success stories of Nigerians in the Diaspora.

“We have Nigerians doing great things all over the world; we are going to focus on them,” she said.

Dabiri-Erewa also advocated concerted efforts on compulsory baggage identification at airports as well as more security surveillance and cameras at the airports.

The major problem is the leaders have brainwashed Nigerians not to see that its poverty, unemployment, lack of education that have driven Nigerians to extreme measures just to survive.

This is no different from the rituals, kidnappings, armed robbery, thuggery, police murders, illegal migration that is full blown now.

I dont know the technology that the govt used on us to share the problems amongst ourselves the citizens rather than the leaders whom are the genesis of these problems.

Not again

These Iyanmiris know that they can't get visa to Saudi Arabia with their names they are now using Muslim names to enter their.
Flatheaded people should stop giving Nigeria bad name

A 22 year old held up a revolution in sudan that removed an incumbent president of 30years, removed the military rule that sprung up after it... but this is the only thing you can come up with.

Are you not ashamed of yourself?

This circle will continue until there's a revolution...
