…as Uduaghan insists on not signing death penalty law
Asaba”DELTA State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, weekend, explained why he would not sign into law, the Bill passed by the state House of Assembly, prescribing death penalty for kidnappers, describing the Bill as a duplication of efforts.

He also said that a school for training of kidnappers had been uncovered in the state.

Speaking at Unity Hall at Government House, Asaba,  on questions posed to him at a town hall meeting during the visit of the Good Governance tour team, led by Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, to the state, he said:  œAs a state government, we have been dealing with kidnapping. Presently, we have been able to identify some hot spots in the state, what are called the red spots, where kidnappers are trained. We have identified those areas.

We are strategising on security for those areas and that is why, in the last few weeks, you could see that the incidence of kidnapping has gone down. There are other strategies we are still working on to deal with kidnapping, which I cannot disclose here.

Another question is, why are we having issues with death penalty for kidnappers? There is already a death penalty in our laws. Every kidnapper is an armed robber, I believe, so I don't know why we are talking today of death penalty for kidnappers. When you go to court, the case is usually kidnapping/armed robbery. Why do I have to sign another law for kidnappers?

Once you are a kidnapper, you are also an armed robber. The law is already there to sentence kidnappers to death. And I must say that in this state, in the last few months, our judges have been bold enough to convict many kidnappers. They are working hard to sentence more kidnappers.

Funny country

The final semester courses for the school go make sense die.

crap.......continues eating my starch and banga soup

How much is their tuition fee and what's the application procedures?. This is one university where you are sure of a well paying job after graduating and you don't even need to go to nysc. . God punish the devil. Nigeria is one funny country

I refuse to comment.

Training school kor, induction class ni. Nothing like dat joor, I stay and work in Delta state. Ds guys are not trained anything. The security system is so porous,you don't need any special training to carry it out. Na NIKITA?. Ds guys just shoot sporadically in the air while targeting the main culprit to be kidnapped. Sometimes they come into people's homes to rob then leave with one person so as to get more cash from the particular family.

Although they have warehouses or something like dat where they keep kidnapped victims(as a friend said, when his fada was kidnapped).

Government should be on the lookout for such places.
