لتهريبه الكوكايين.. تنفيذ حُكم القتل تعزيراً بأحد الجناة في منطقة مكة

The Ministry of Interior issued a statement today regarding the implementation of the death penalty by judicial discretion for Muhammad Muhammad Abu Bakr, a Nigerian national, for his involvement in smuggling cocaine into the Kingdom.

Thanks to God, the security authorities were able to arrest the aforementioned perpetrator, and the investigation with him resulted in charges being brought against him for committing the crime. Upon referral to the competent court, a ruling was issued confirming the charges against him and sentencing him to death by judicial discretion. The ruling became final after being appealed and upheld by the Supreme Court, and a royal order was issued to enforce what was legally determined.

The death penalty was carried out against the perpetrator today (Wednesday) 12/2/1447 AH, corresponding to 6/8/2025, in the Makkah region.

The Ministry of Interior announces this to reaffirm the Saudi Arabian government's commitment to protecting the security of citizens and residents from the scourge of drugs, and to impose the severest penalties prescribed by law against traffickers and dealers, due to the loss of innocent lives and the severe corruption it causes in youth, individuals, and society, as well as the violation of their rights. At the same time, it warns anyone who engages in such actions that the legal punishment will be their fate.
