IN SHORT: A previously debunked claim with old photos resurfaced in August 2023 as breaking news. The photos are at least four years old and the claim that death sentences have been handed down to three arrested Nigerians is not supported by available evidence.

Photos of three men, supposedly Nigerians arrested in Cambodia for drug trafficking and sentenced to death, circulated on Facebook in August 2023 as breaking news.

Many of the captions accompanying the photos urged Facebook users to share them, to ensure the information got to the parents of the suspects.

“Breaking News: Three Nigerian Men who were caught with cocaine ‘ice’ in Cambodia have been charged to death sentence! .continue sharing until it gets to their various parents,” one of the Facebook posts reads.

The death penalty was abolished in 1989.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
