Two nigerian students sentenced death malaysia #

I understand that you're referring to the recent news about two Nigerian students who were sentenced to death in Malaysia. Here's a summary of the situation:

On January 24, 2023, a Malaysian court sentenced two Nigerian students, Sylvester Aigbogun and Chijioke Stephen, to death by hanging for the murder of a 28-year-old Mongolian national, Altantuya Shaariibuu. The murder took place in 2006.

According to reports, Altantuya was shot and killed by two police officers, Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar, who were allegedly involved in a conspiracy with then-Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak. The officers were later convicted and sentenced to death for the murder.

The two Nigerian students were accused of being involved in the murder, allegedly on behalf of Najib Razak. They were arrested in 2019 and charged with murder, conspiracy to murder, and abetment to murder.

The Malaysian court found the students guilty and sentenced them to death, citing evidence that they had planned and executed the murder. The students' lawyers have appealed the verdict, claiming that the evidence against them was circumstantial and that they were not involved in the murder.

This case has sparked widespread outrage and concern in Nigeria, with many calling for the students' release and questioning the fairness of the Malaysian justice system. The Nigerian government has also intervened, urging Malaysia to reconsider the sentence and provide evidence to support the allegations against the students.
