This isn't a good one for kidnappers! The Senate, yesterday, led by its President Bukola Saraki, has agreed to begin a process for the enactment of a law that would prescribe capital punishment for kidnappers across the country. The Senate also asked state governments to enact laws that would prosecute kidnappers and other crime-related offences in their jurisdiction and recommended that the Inspector General of Police and Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, in particular as well as other security agencies be encouraged to do more.

These resolutions of the Senate were sequel to the consideration of a report of the Joint Committee on Police Affairs, National Security and Intelligence in respect of a motion on the unfortunate recurrence of kidnapping and hostage-taking in Nigeria, entitled, “A National Wake-Up Call.”

“Such kidnappers, once they succeed, it’s either they take away the vehicle, use it or they dump their victim. But the third type, which is very dangerous, is the professional kidnappers, who kidnapped for money and that is the one we are focusing on this afternoon.

Firing squad for kidnappers. Also in his contribution, Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi West), recommended firing squad for kidnappers. While contributing to the report, the Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio (PDP, Akwa Ibom), regretted that kidnapping escalated in Nigeria when ex-governor and now Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, was kidnapped around 2002.

Says 225 kidnap cases recorded in Oct, Nov 2015 N85m demanded, N28m paid by victims Accuses security agencies of unhealthy rivalry

What about approving same for pen robbers such as SINators and representaTHIEVES. After all, legisLOOTERS are even worse than the kidnappers.

Money-nappers nko ? When will the senate legislate a law that will regulate their own excessive spending.



Nice one though !

Its a good development though...

But if the government cannot provide for the many who are poor, then the few who are rich can't be safe.

What about pedophilias

Good move but what about the looters who stole our money ?

It's high time the youths of this nation start doing something about it.

So far no punishment has been metted out to politicians looting the masses but a death by firing has been quickly approved for kidnapping an individual because they are now after the politicians.

This country is really a Zoo no doubt.

Long over due though the law is already existing in Anambra State right from Peter Obi Administration. Buh wait a minute, what of looters .They shld be buried alive.

Lol. Because one of una no eat at kidnappers den for 6days. Una just dey wake up. Make herdmans teach one of una family member lesson and let see if the tune of the music won't change within 1wk.

And the majority of these SINators, representaTHIEVES and legisLOOTERS are APC saints

I believe we should all applaud this brilliant move from the senators in which I know is long overdue, if one of your family members ever become a victims of this kidnappers you people will know the importance of this law, they stave some of their victims to death,sometimes to pic their targets they will kill many people including security details,demanding for huge some of money,putting the entire family &loved one in trouble during that period, some after collecting the ransom will still kill the kidnapped person and on &on,pls let's look at it in this perspective not the other way round, I know little by little we shall get there.god bless Nigeria.

I won't pity any kidnapper sentenced.
