It is obvious that if these guys are found guilty, they would face the death penalty because they committed the offence in Edo State.

Other states that have proscribed the death penalty for Kidnapping include:
Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.

So be very careful because committing kidnapping in any of these 7 states would carry the maximum sentence.
There is also a bill before the Senate to make kidnapping carry capital punishment across the entire country.

Say No to Kidnapping, Say no to Crime #changebeginswithme
