400 Nigerians in Chinese prisons - Ambassador Agency Reporter Nigeria's Ambassador to China, Aminu Wali, says 400 Nigerians are languishing in Chinese jails and that one of them was executed through lethal injection last month. Wali told Nigerian journalists in Beijing on Thursday that a majority of the convicts were tried for hard drug related offences. He added that another Nigerian had recently had his death sentence suspended and could finally have it commuted to life imprisonment due to the intervention of the embassy. Wali said, "Something is wrong with our value system." According to him, the embassy is arranging a stakeholders' meeting with leaders from a geo-political zone in Nigeria where most of the convicts come from. He lamented that the embassy usually got to know about this group of Nigerians only after they had been arrested. The envoy said, "As we speak, one of my consular officers is on a prison visit to meet convicted Nigerians or suspects still undergoing trial. "This embassy was earlier today informed of another arrest and before the end of the day, up to five such letters may be received here." The ambassador said he had been visiting Nigerian convicts in Chinese prisons personally on a quarterly basis to ensure that they were fairly comfortable by donating money towards their needs. He also said some Nigerians sell their passports on running into difficult times in China and would finally remember their embassy when arrested. . . http://www.odili.net/news/source/2011/sep/2/837.html |

guru01: Ashamed ? for migrating to greener pastures ? That's ludicrous. The problem is when people go abroad and want to make money in the shady ways they're used to in Nigeria. Not every society is tolerant to our type of corruption |
