The Federal Government of Nigeria has denied the reports that 23 Nigerians convicted for drug offences in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had been executed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was in contact with the Nigerian Mission in Saudi Arabia “and it has been confirmed that the story is false and should be disregarded.”
The media had been awash with the names of the convicts awaiting execution in various Saudi prisons for drug offences.
