Three Nigerians executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking


Three of the six Nigerians convicted for drug related offenses have been executed in Indonesia by firing squad. The Nigerians were put to death along with one Indonesian on Thursday, after midnight Indonesian time.


It was not clear why 10 other drug convicts, who had been expected to face the firing squad, were not executed.

Indonesia on Thursday rejected mounting international pressure and desperate pleas from relatives to halt the execution of 14 drug convicts it sentenced to death by firing squad.
