Nigerian drug convict, Daniel Enemuo and 5 other foreigners from Vietnam, Malawi, Brazil and Netherlands were executed in the early hours of this morning Sunday January 18th for drug offences.
The convicts, who were killed by firing squad, are the first people executed under new President Joko Widodo,who took office in October 2014. He signed off on the executions last month..
Brazil and the Netherlands have since recalled their ambassadors from Indonesia after the country defied their pleas and executed two of their citizens AFP reports. Brazilian Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira, was convicted of smuggling cocaine into Indonesia in 2004. Dutchman Ang Kiem Soei was arrested 8 years ago. Daniel Enemuo, 38, was also arrested in 2004
The others executed in the Boyolali district in central Java were Namaona Denis from Malawi; Indonesian woman, Rani Andriani, and Vietnamese woman Tran Thi Bich Hanh.

It is no secret in Indonesia and other Asian countries that drug smuggling carries capital punishment. The signs are all over the place. Smugglers knew the risks involved but will always take the senseless gamble that will end their lives. There are more than 80 Nigerians awaiting execution in these Asian countries. He wasted his life for nothing. I am sorry for the family of this young man. You only live once and there is no short-cut in life.
Rest in Peace.

Death penalty is barbaric. Why not lock them up for good?
"It is a cruel and inhuman punishment that amounts to an unacceptable denial of human dignity and integrity," ...........said Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders.
