At Last, Chijoke Stephen Obioha, Nigerian Condemned Drug Baron Executed This Morning In Singapore

Nigerian death row convict, Chijoke Stephen Obioha
was executed in Singapore early this morning, after the
Court of Appeal dismissed an Urgent Criminal Motion
filed by his lawyer, Mr Joseph Chen, yesterday.
The Singapore Anti-Death Penalty Campaign member,
Mr Ravi, who is assisting Mr Joseph with the research
for the case, took to his Facebook page an hour ago to
announce the news.
"This morning, at 6am, the execution of Chijioke
Stephen Obioha took place. I am not even sure if his
family from Nigeria were able to attend. Soon it will be
all forgotten together with Chijioke’s name, but for the
many of us who fight and campaign to eradicate this
barbaric practice of death by hanging, and for those of
us who challenge the mandatory death penalty for
drug trafficking in Singapore, our work will go on. And
it must."

In an update, Mr Ravi said that he is making
arrangement with the Roman Catholic Prison Ministry
to claim his body for proper burial today or tomorrow.
"Update: I'm currently arranging with the Roman
Catholic Prison Ministry ( RCPM) to claim the body of
Chijioke from the Singapore Prisons Service for a
proper funeral in accordance with his religious
beliefs.The funeral will take place either today or
tomorrow depending on how soon the SPS could
release the body.
Will keep you posted"
Chijoke was first arrested in 2007 and sentenced to
the Mandatory Death Penalty in 2008 after being found
guilty of trafficking more than 2kg of Cannabis.
Chijoke has spent almost 8 years on death row and
more than 9 years behind bars.
