The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday ignored calls to intervene in the plight of 16 Nigerians facing death penalty for drug trafficking in Indonesia, saying they must face the full brunt of the law.
It also urged the Federal Government to wash its hands off any attempt to intervene in the matter, as the Senate had been fully briefed on the matter and the attendant consequences.
Over 300 Nigerians are said to be serving various jail terms in Indonesian prisons for peddling hard drugs while 16 of them are on death row.
The Senate reached the resolution after a motion brought by Senator Mathew Nwagwu, who chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, raised the matter concerning the plight of the Nigerians.
He had argued that the persons numbering 16, were languishing in Indonesian jails, and called for an intervention of the government to either reduce or review the cases against them.
He said, “I have called Minister of Foreign Affairs and he assured me that he will get in touch with our mission in Jakarta, although he was of the opinion that most of the issues related to drug related offences. I wish to suggest that we invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs to address the Senate on what is happening and what can be done to reduce and review some of these cases.”
But President of the Senate, David Mark, said there was little or nothing the government could do to save the convicts, since their actions were in complete violation of the laws of Indonesia.
While dismissing the motion, Mark said the prisoners had themselves to blame because they knew the consequences of trafficking in drugs, yet went ahead to commit the crimes.
“Unfortunately in the Sixth Senate we took up this matter and we sent a delegation to Indonesia. I think it was Uche Chukwumerije who raised the issue, to Indonesia, Singapore China and they brought a report back that all the people on death row were people who had gone for trafficking in drugs. And they had exhausted all the legal system possible,” he said.

Only when the last human being executes themself will capital punishment be effictive!!!
ReplyDeleteFor hundreds of years "States" have been murdering their citizens and guests under the misguided belief that it will serve as a deterrent to stop others. "WAKE UP ITS HAS NOT WORKED" State sopnsored murder is totally ineffective as a deterrent, it only serves to demeane and dam those that practice it. Remember "THOU SHALL NOT KILL" there is no priviso, no get out clause. People if your Government practices murder it is a Godless non believing Government be afraid be very afraid. For evil to prevail good men need only do nothing. Those who stand by and do nothing are equally guilty when they have the power to intervine. No one can say innocent people have not been murdered in this way, "WHAT IF" the man who would discover the cure for AIDS was hanged by mistake, "WHAT IF" THE SON OF GOD WAS EXECUTED.
