Another
Nigerian Nabbed In Saudi Arabia For Cocaine.
Saheed
Sobade, a Nigerian, has been nabbed with 1,183 grams of cocaine powder in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, senior special assistant to the
president on foreign affairs and diaspora, made this known while speaking at a
programme on Arise Television on Friday morning.
This
is just days after Saudi Arabia executed Kudirat Afolabi, another Nigerian, for
drugs.
“I
have bad news for you. Just yesterday, in the midst of the cacophony of 20 to
be killed, eight have been killed, another Nigerian was caught with cocaine in
Jeddah,” Dabiri-Erewa said.
“He
was caught with 1,183 grams of cocaine powder. As he was arrested, the mission
was informed and his name is Saheed Ayinde Sobade.”
On
Thursday, the federal government condemned the execution of Afolabi — a widow
and mother of two — who was executed on April 1.
The
ministry of foreign affairs said the Saudi authorities did not inform the
Nigerian mission in Saudi Arabia of the arrest and prosecution of the deceased
Nigerian.
Dabiri-Arewa
added that the Saudi authorities do not spare any country when it comes to
drugs.
However,
she called for fair trial, and also appealed to Nigerians back home not to
“tribalise crime, no matter what.”
“It’s
a sad commentary that at this point in our lives we are tribalising crime.
Crime is crime. We should not debase the green passport,” she said.
