The Federal Government has condemned the execution of four Nigerians by the Indonesian
authorities over drug-related offences, despite pleas for clemency by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The government, while commiserating with the families of the deceased, demanded the
repatriation of the corpses of the executed Nigerians.
It explained that they would be given decent burials by their various communities. A terse statement on Wednesday from the Public
Communications Division of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja, gave the names of the executed
Nigerians as Martin Anderson, Okwudili Oyatanze, Jaminu Abashin and Sylvester Obiekwe.
The government warned Nigerians to desist from drug trafficking and other offences.
