This is good
news to the people of Edo State as the Edo state government is looking to crack
down hard on kidnapping in the state. Governor Adams Oshiomole has reportedly agreed to sign
a death penalty law for caught kidnappers. The governor was recently indecisive
on whether the death penalty should apply to kidnappers who commit murder
during the act and those who engage in the illicit business.
The former
NLC President Friday affirmed that the death penalty applies to all acts of
kidnapping whether it involved murder or not.
He called on youths to cease from the act as an excuse for
unemployment, the governor appealed to parents and guardians to be cautious of
the activities of their wards as such act would no longer be condoled.
