WARRI—EX-MILITANTS, under the aegis of Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, have asked Delta State governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, to sign into law, the Anti-Terrorism/Kidnapping Bill, stipulating death sentence for kidnappers and terrorists passed last Wednesday by the state House of Assembly.

The group, in a response by its spokesperson, Mark Anthony, to an electronic mail enquiry by Vanguard, urged Uduaghan to jettison his opposition to death penalty for capital offences in order to purge the state of evil persons.

However, Warri-based civil rights group, Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defence, FJHD, disagreed with NDLF, saying it stood for total eradication of death penalty from the statute books nationwide.

FJHD said: “We call on the National Assembly and our State Houses of Assembly to immediately abolish the death penalty from our statute books nationwide to allay its boomeranging effects on our larger society.”

NDLF, however, said those opposed to death penalty were talking out of ignorance, as they did not know the battle in the mind of terrorists, kidnappers and criminals, who knew before committing the crime that it was punishable by death.

His words: “The bill has to be speedily signed into law to curb the menace of terrorism/kidnapping in the nation, particularly kidnapping in the Delta State.”

Hmmmmm

Some of them should know how to talk the issue of kidnapping based on their past experience.

Good idea but death penalty bad idea

mascot87: Good idea but death penalty bad idea

Why Bad, should the punishment not fit the crime

well, Gov Emma, may have to sign it. coz it may not matter after all when those guys will take laws into their hands and roast any kidnapper caught.

its just an advice for the government to give the law power. at least with that law in place, their 'll be room for trial in the court.

If him like make him no sign am. when angry boys catch any kidnapper him go know say boys no send govt for that kind matter.

I'm in support of the death sentence BUT the execution should be carried out by the AUTHORITIES and ONLY THEM , Or else people would use this for set ups / personal vendetta like the case of the ALUU 4.

After them done chop their own share abi ? . Anyway i am number what to comment ?

Ex militants seem to have become bourgeoises overninght in nigeria,,now they are clamouring to protect their illgotten and stolen wealth they got from collaborating with the ill nigerian government,by saying "death to the common man."

Animals in human skin.

9th position at last, very soon i will reach the 1st. na small small u go cook stone e don

There is no sensible basis for opposition to death penalty for kidnappers and terrorists. As a matter of fact, the death sentence is inadequate for them but unfortunately there is no recompense more beyond it. If the killer can take the life of someone better than himself, what stops the state from taking his miserable life? Beyond the funny desire to sound and be like the western world, what tenable reason can be adduced for oppossing death penalty for those fiends in human skin? Some funny people just want to prove holier than God in showing mercy to devils.

The only only snag is that the law makers,like uduagban are fundamentally the most dangorous terrorists themselves.

But because nigerians are to fo=olish to see where their problems lies,they tend to duel on the irrelevants.

Small boy, have you finished writing your home work before coming to the net to talk about your senseless 9th position?
