Buhari Directs Malami To Return Zainab Aliyu Awaiting Execution For Drug Traffic by Ebullience(m): 5:58pm On Apr 29, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed Mr Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to immediately intervene in the case of Zainab Aliyu, the student incriminated in drug-related matters and being detained by Saudi Arabian authorities. Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora matters, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made this disclosure in a statement made available to DAILY POST by her media aide, Mr. Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on Monday. Dabiri-Erewa said that the President gave the directive two weeks ago when the matter was brought to his attention. She said, “President Muhammadu Buhari gave the directive immediately the matter was brought to his attention about two weeks ago . “My office has been working with the AGF as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in that regard.” The presidential aide assured that progress was being made in Zainab’s case, along with two others in similar circumstances in Saudi Arabia. Dabiri Erewa said that Zainab, “though detained, has not been put on trial by the Saudi Arabia government. And with the hard evidence that those who implicated her have been arrested, a strong legal case is being made to the Saudi authorities”. “Mr Habib Aliyu, the father of the alleged drug courier, Zainab Aliyu, had appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Saudi authorities and the international community as well as well-meaning individuals to intervene in her daughter’s case and save the ‘innocent’ lady from being executed wrongly. “Habibu Aliyu, who is not happy that his daughter is cooling off in a Saudi Prison despite the recent discovery that she was framed up by some drug cartel, explained that the allegations of Zainab entering the country with Tramadol, was absolute falsehood as recent events and arrests have confirmed the girl’s innocence. “Zainab, a student of Maitama Sule University, Kano, had travelled from Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) in company with her mother, Mrs. Maryam Aliyu, and sister, Hajara Aliyu. She was later arrested over allegations that a luggage, bearing her name tag, contained the unlawful substance. “Zainab who was accused of entering Saudi Arabia with an illegal dosage of Tramadol was later discovered to be a victim of a cartel that specialises in keeping hard drugs in travellers’ bags, some of whom are already in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).” https://dailypost.ng/2019/04/29/buhari-directs-agf-malami-return-zainab-aliyu-awaiting-execution-drug-trafficking-saudi/ 3 Likes

There shouldn't be any second class citizen, the president should treat all human and his belief equally. If she was to be from the south, people won't want to know if he or she was set up. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria doesn't have power to demand prisoners back. Countries do facilitate prisoner transfers but death row inmates are off the table. I doubt Saudi Arabia will comply. Nigeria is yet to convict those alleged drug syndicate members . 9 Likes |

mightyhaze: If you read the report and not just the Headline I’m sure you won’t write this. Mention one case of the southerner that the authority later found out that they were framed? Let’s stop seeing everything from the ethnic side it won’t take us anywhere as a nation. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

This frame -up stories is not really adding up IMO. Has the said alleged cartel accepted responsibility? If yes, what was their aim of planting drugs in people's luggage? If yes, and if truly yes and they have a genuine aim for doing so, then they should be gravely dealt with. 12 Likes 1 Share |

She can escape death sentence if
1. Real criminals who implicated her should be exchanged for her release.
2. Muslims in Nigeria should boycott hajj until further notice
3. FG should declare war on Saudi government
4. She escapes from prison 14 Likes 1 Share |
