DerideGull:


The kidnappers have reached Edo State from the region known as the birth place of Gbomogbomo. I urge you to concentrate on skirts as usual.

nchewi: Bullshit!!! SMH for all of u who think Death penalty 4 kidnapping is cool. Wait till an innocent person gets framed up n killed. This law will make kidnappers more ruthless.

sкчscrαρεr™:
Does the law apply to those who do not harm their victims?!

what about those that kidnap their loved ones just to extort money from them?!

In my opinion, death penalty is not suitable for these kindof offences.

dayokanu:

We all know the place where a whole state was locked down for kidnapping Dendemorron that a whole bus of school children was Osisikankwued, I hope you sef no dey plan to enter that line of business

Oshiomole no dey look Uche face even he no dey look Dende face

Arosa: Death penalty is not a deterrent to crime.

DerideGull: We also know the places where skirts can not walk the street without being kidnapped. If it is not the wife of the speaker of state house of assembly or commissioner, it certainly will be a lady presenter at TV station.

dayokanu:

Have you seen the region those who kidnapped the Speakers wife came from?

I can post their names for you

DerideGull:

Yes!!! They were from the western region of Nigeria. I lived in the region for considerable number of years, olodo.

Ogun State Commissioner of Police Ikemefuna Okoye yesterday narrated how Mrs. Muibat Salaam, wife of Osun State House of Assembly Speaker Najeem Salaam, was rescued from her abductors.

Mrs. Salaam was abducted last Tuesday in Ejigbo, Osun State, by gunmen.

She was rescued on Saturday in Ogunmakin, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Speaking with reporters while parading the suspected kidnappers in Eleweran, the Command Headquarters, Okoye said members of the Vigilance Services of Ogun (VSO) noticed the suspicious movement of the kidnappers and their victim and alerted the police.

He said the Fidiwo Police Division deployed men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and plain-clothed policemen in the area, where the suspects were hiding in the bush.

Okoye said: “My men moved into the bush and engaged the suspects in a gun duel, killing one of them. Four were apprehended and the others ran away with bullet wounds.

“It was after we rescued the victim that she told us who she was. Let the record be set straight that the police carried out the rescue operation.”

[size=14pt]The suspects are Chukwuma Usifo (28), Chukwudi Okereke (25), Ogbole Elijah and Okonkwo Lucky (27).[/size]

cold: You don't want to die,don't kidnap. Simple as! Don't commit a crime & come lecture us on how the punishment is not proportionate to the crime. If you kidnap in Edo state & you're caught,prosecuted & convicted. You will be hanged! Perfect! I urge other states to follow suit

Italiano1:

If some states in the land of the rising sun enact a similar law, it lead to the collapse of the second largest contributor to the GDP in alaibo, kidnapping is a multi -billion business in Japan of Africa

[size=15pt]Obi insisted that Ndigbo were not and still not marginalised as claimed in some quarters. He said the Igbo were marginalising themselves . He lamented that it is only in Igboland that brothers and wives arrange kidnapping of their blood relations and spouses for money. [/size]

seanet01: To a certain extent, death penalty is a deterrent to criminality, have you ever wondered why Corruption in China is now low? Death Penalty

Professor PP: Kudos to the state governor it's just a welcome development

Delafruita: this law isnt just insane,its unnecessary.laws cannot be made on the basis of sentiments.its true kidnapping is a serious crime but its insane to kill people when they dont kill peopple or in any way lead to the death of another.if a kidnapping is accompanied by a murder than thats a different issue.but applauding a law that takes a life when none was taken is the height of ludicrity.

geesilver: So now ℓ̊ guess ℓ̊ can invite my white dude to warri, for a street walk without fear of being kidnap sinnce its dealth pk for any one caught.

olatade: EDO State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has signed into law the “Kidnapping Prohibition Law 2009” as recently amended by the Edo State House of Assembly.
The law prescribes death penalty for anyone who is involved in any form of kidnapping in the state.
Oshiomhole while appending his signature to the Bill yesterday in Benin said, “That as reluctant as one would want to be in matters of life and death, I am convinced that the overriding public interest now dictates that we invoke the maximum penalty available in our law to all those involved in the act of kidnapping. Anyone sentenced and convicted; I will sign the death warrant”

“But criminals have a choice to abstain from criminality, abstain from kidnapping, abstain from killing so that they in turn can live and enjoy the good things of life”, just as he insisted that those who argued that the problem of kidnapping came from unemployment should not simplify a very complex issue as kidnappers do not have state of origin and they were migrants and do not respect neither state, national or international boundaries.
He assured Edo people that everything was being done to ensure that security agencies put in place a comprehensive network that would ensure effective policing of the various security flash points across the state.
“I am convinced that all of us in the three arms of government, that is, the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary do have a responsibility to make laws and enforce those laws in a way that will send clear signals to those involved in various acts of criminality be they kidnappers, murderers, rapists and whoever they are that the security agencies are now much more determined than ever before to ensure that this state becomes too hot for criminals to operate”
“I am aware from reports of those who have been arrested over the period that the overwhelming majority of these criminals are migrant criminals who came from neighboring states and sometimes from far away states to perpetrate various crimes in EdoState and escaped back to their states across the country”
“I want to assure the good people of Edo state that the government is concerned with the state of kidnapping. We share the pains, agony and trauma which the victims of kidnap and other violent crimes are subjected to or experienced”, adding that everything was being done to keep the criminals in check.
