Libya agreed to commute the death sentences imposed on a Nigerian and three Ghanaians convicted of murdering a Libyan, Nigerian officials said.
Earlier Nigeria's President Olusegun Obasanjo urged his Libyan counterpart Moamer Kadhafi to commute the sentences imposed on the west Africans for the 1995 murder of Mohammed Mustapha.
The Nigerian, Nathaniel Notibo, and the Ghanaians were to have been executed on January 17, the Nigerian foreign ministry said.
Libya's ambassador to Nigeria, Othman Mansour, on January 20 told Nigeria's deputy foreign minister, Dubem Onyia, that Libya had agreed to commute the sentences.
Mansour said that a senior Libyan official would confirm the decision on a visit to Nigeria on January 28.
