Trending in
Nigeria is the list of 23 Nigerians said to be on death row in Saudi Arabia
over drug-related offences.
They were
arrested between 2016 and 2017 at King Abdul-Aziz International Airport,
Jeddah, and Prince Muhammad Bin Abdu-Aziz International Airport, Madinah.
The list was first published in April after the execution of Nigerian widow,
Kudirat Afolabi, who had brought into Saudi Arabia, a prohibited drug.
The list, comprising mainly
Yoruba and some few Hausa/Fulani people, all Muslims, was exhumed on Sunday by
some Twitterati to show that crime is not limited to a particular ethnic group
in Nigeria.
