Bayelsa Governor, Seriake Dickson, is mulling the signing of death sentences of convicted kidnappers to send a signal that there is no place to hide for felons in the state.

Among the convicted kidnappers are those found guilty and sentenced to death by the state High Court for the kidnap and death of Pa Benson Esinte Adigo, 87, uncle of former governor Timipre Sylva.

Dickson said he is worried that the rife in kidnap cases is being carried out by criminal elements that were armed by opposition leaders during the general election.

He said he is considering signing of the many death sentences to send the appropriate signal that Bayelsa State government, under his watch, would not allow kidnappers get way.

Dickson, who decried the continued undermining of the state security apparatus by key opposition figures, warned Bayelsans not to pay kidnappers because the security system put in place by his administration would ensure they are caught.

He warned those involved in kidnapping to desist forthwith as the government would clamp down on them.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on the young men who are into this nefarious act to stop it in their own interest. In this state, no matter how long it takes, if you kidnap someone, we will catch you.

“There are so any convicts whose death warrants are on my table waiting to be signed. “Any how you run, we will catch you.

“Those who kidnapped Sylva’s uncle, an old man, Chief Adigio, I think, he even died in their custody. So callous, so cruel.

“They have been convicted and sentenced to death. So, people should be careful. No matter how long. We will catch you. And you will pay the supreme price.

“If you go to the prison, you have so many of them in Okaka. Violent criminals all arrested. In this state, the system we have set up, you may succeed in kidnapping somebody but you may not get away with it because we will get you very shortly.

“I want to call on those young men who are into that to desist and allow other people to come out and see how you can be a useful member of our community.

“There are ways we can support and rehabilitate you. We can talk about that. How to rehabilitate you but this idea of kidnapping old men and women and taking them to the forest to ask for money; nobody has millions and millions to pay anybody.

“And for me, you know I have a policy of not paying. Even when my late mother was kidnap, I never paid. And in certain cases, I shall waste no time in signing the death warrant for their execution,” he said.

May God bless Nigeria

Ok

Straight up. No time

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Nice one coming from a former police man

Cant remember the last time death warrants were signed in nigeria
The last executions here was during abacha's rule when otokoto 6 faced firing squad
We need to amend our laws tho
Death sentence for kidnapping THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE DEATH is too harsh
A long jail time should be enough

Na so with corrupt politicians

When member of his family get kidnap now. They wil nt inform us b4 the pay urge amount of money to them. Making mouth up and down. Dont worry

The son of Diick, oyinbos names shaa,

.

Our judiciary is the major reason insecurity and all sorts of crime are on the increase. Otherwise tell me why Evans and many other cases have lingered for many years now, even with all the revelations and confessions of the accused.

It can't cost u more than #5 Biro. This will serve them better.

Sign it

Don't be an accomplice of taking the life of another person that you can't create not matter what. You can subject them to community service for life. In that way they will work their lives out without been paid. #saynotodeathpenalty

are you a kidnapper? Why worry

Let the execution start fast and let it be public so everybody will see their faces.

One cannot move freely in Nigeria now. In fact it should be a national law in the whole Nigeria, to execute kidnappers in public.

skallink:
are you a kidnapper? Why worry

Lol i'm not
But seriously some of our laws need to be checked

Too many evil people in our nation, we need to reduce the number, our population is even too much...even America executes convicts, this is the way to reduce crime. Terrorists and kidnappers need to get what they deserve.

LET ALL GOVERNORS SIGN THESE TO REDUCE OUR CONGESTED PRISON

Please my people, what warrant should we sign for fulani herdsmen?

And Ghanaians doing trade here

Dickson can't. He lacks the balls.
If it is to secretly eliminate opponents using cultists and assassins,
our politicians have no problem with it. But when it comes to ridding the
society of evil, they pretend to be holy men who can't hurt a fly.

Leadership position is not for cowards.
If everyone thinks like you, you would be working your ass off in Boko haram
plantation farm if you managed to stay alive.

And even South Africans and their businesses here

No, it's not. Do you know the kind of trauma the victims go through?

I think we need to extend the death penalty to even financial-related crimes.

China wouldn't be where it is today, if not for death penalty.

Death penalty is good, provided innocent ones will not be killed and everyone will be equal before the law.
