As things stand, at least 23 more Nigerians, according to TheNation, are destined to suffer Afolabi’s fate, having been convicted for flouting the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, issued under Royal Decree No. M/39 dated 8/7/1428AH, which is punishable by death.

There
has been so much public uproar condemning both the Nigerian and Saudi
Arabian governments after the execution of a Nigerian woman, Kudirat
Adeshola Afolabi, who was found guilty of drug trafficking.

While
Nigerians insisted Afolabi was only a victim of drug syndicate group at
Nigerian airports, both governments maintained she was actually guilty
of the crime.

Following Afolabi’s execution, it was revealed that
another Nigerian, Saheed Sobade, was facing the prospect of death in
Saudi Arabia after being nabbed with 1,183 grams of cocaine powder in
Jeddah, a Saudi Arabian port city on the Red Sea and gateway for
pilgrimages to the Islamic holy cities Mecca and Medina.

The
Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Nigeria responded to widespread
criticism of Afolabi’s execution by insisting that all legal and
judicial procedures were observed.

“It is well-known for all
those interested in travelling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that the
penalty for drug trafficking is the death sentence and the said sentence
is applied on all persons convicted without any exceptions, as long as
the evidence is established against them, and this is conveyed to every
person prior to his trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” it said.

As
things stand, at least 23 more Nigerians, according to TheNation, are
destined to suffer Afolabi’s fate, having been convicted for flouting
the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, issued under Royal
Decree No. M/39 dated 8/7/1428AH, which is punishable by death.

They
were arrested between 2016 and 2017 at the King Abdul-Aziz
International Airport, Jeddah and Prince Muhammad bin Abdu- Aziz
International Airport, Madinah.
