An appeal has gone to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to intervene in the case of the 13 Nigerians who are rotting away in a Saudi jail despite having completed their jail terms.
The jailed Nigerians, who thanked Yar’Adua for his concern for them, after reading about their plight in the Sunday Tribune of November 11, 2007, urged him to wade into the matter “urgently to prevent the Saudi authorities from executing us because three months after the president’s intervention, nothing has happened.
The 13 Nigerians involved are: Kazeem Afolabi, Abass Mojeed Akanni, Muritala Amoo, Nurudeen Sanni, Amin Gbenga Shobayo, Abass Azeez, Muhammed Abdullah Yusuff, Waheed Elebute, Saliu Amod Suberu, Hammed Abass, Nofiu Obadina and Nurudeen Owode Owoalade.
