Full List Of 23 Nigerians To Be Executed In Saudi Arabia, See Why
No fewer than 23 Nigerians are on death rollover drug-related offences, the Saudi Arabia Government has announced.
YaahooJournalist reports that the Saudi Government made this known in a statement on Saturday, August 24.
It was learned that the suspects were arrested between 2016 and 2017 at King Abdul-Aziz International Airport, Jeddah, and Prince Muhammad Bin Abdu-Aziz International Airport, Madinah.
The 23 Nigerians were said to have concealed the narcotic substance in their rectum.
