NiDCOM Appeals for Release of Nigerian on Death Row in Saudi Arabia
The Nigerian Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) and Suleimon Olufemi's family seek the release of Olufemi, who has been on death row in Saudi Arabia since 2005. Olufemi was arrested in 2002 for the killing of a police officer during a visit to Saudi Arabia.
The family demands a blood money payment of $570,000 for Olufemi's release, as per Saudi law. NiDCOM, along with Nigerian-Saudi Arabia Commission, is working on diplomatic efforts for Olufemi's pardon, supported by key figures like Yusuf Maitama Tuggar and Abdullahi Bello.
