Saudi Arabia has released three Nigerian women who were earlier arrested and prosecuted in the country.
The acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, January 5, 2025, said the release followed high-level diplomatic engagement between the Nigerian government and Saudi authorities.

The three Nigerians, namely Hadiza Abba, Fatima Malah and Fatima Gamboi, were arrested for alleged possession of a substance suspected to be cocaine while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

They are lucky to have been released. It will be better for those like them to never be tempted with trafficking illegal drugs, They cannot escape the law and drug trafficking is a heinous crime.

One thing l have realized that the middle East doesn't really entertain drugs of any kind. Most Africans found themselves in problems while doing drugs in there.

These women have to really reverence whatever they worship and believe in. It is not easy to come out from Middle East on drugs allegations.

There was also from my country subjected to hanging but President Duterte urged the Saudi King to review the case. The case was about a domestic helper who was abused by his male master. He raped the young helper severely and that made the victim pursue a plan to kill his abusive and evil master. She was also hit once refused so she stabbed him with a sharp knife, 30 stabs. Good for him, evil monster. That Filipina was set free and sent back to the Philippines. But the Saudi lawyer required her to pay 3 million pesos for damages, and the government paid the required money.

That is right, and God does not sleep. Those Nigerians must reflect on their lives. They must live in a legal way if they want to live in peace.

That's right I hope they can do better as humans and shun all kinds of criminal activities

 

[Xtynehappy]

I think that the government was very mercifully enough to her. I think not many governments could do that to citizens

 

[Trush Jodie]

I love countries like Saudi Arabia that are very strict with their laws and also show some little leniency once in a while.

 

[freelancermaria]

They are fortunate to have been released, as Saudi Arabia is strict. I'm glad they were not hanged. I hope they won't repeat the same mistakes. I hope they have learned their lesson.
