Fernando Esono, nicknamed ‘Maabis’, was put to death in the Evinayong prison courtyard, where he was being held, the source added.
A national of Equatorial Guinea, he had been sentenced to death by the Malabo Appeals Court in 2004.

Following his arrest, the authorities swiftly shot him for the first murder without putting him on trial for other killings.
