Convicted Nigerian Citizen Drug Smuggler To Be Executed in Indonesia On Sunday.

A convicted Nigerian drug trafficker is among six drug offenders to be executed in Indonesia on Sunday. The Nigerian,38 year-old Daniel Enemuo, alias Diarrssouba was convicted in 2004.

Indonesian authorities announced the execution today. It will be the first execution under new President Joko Widodo.

The planned executions were announced by the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office.

Widodo, who took office in late October, signed off on the executions last month. He pledged no clemency for drug offenders, despite pleas from the European Union, the Brazilian government and Amnesty International.

The five foreigners due to be executed are from Nigeria, Malawi, Vietnam, the Netherlands and Brazil.
