INDONESIA. TWO NIGERIANS EXECUTED FOR DRUG SMUGGLING

two Nigerians were executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking, officials said. Samuel Okoye, 37, and Hansen Nwaolisa, 40, were arrested at Jakarta's international airport in 2001, each carrying more than 3 kgs of heroin. They had been held at a high-security prison on Nusakambangan island since their conviction.
'We have carried out the sentence, according to the court's decision,' said local prosecutor Muhamad Yamin.
The executions by firing squad took place overnight, marking the international anti-drugs day, Indonesia's
anti-narcotics agency said.
