More Than 2,000 Nigerians On Death Row -coalition For Abolition Of Death Penalty by obembet(f): 9:02pm On Aug 23, 2019 |
The coalition included the World Coalition for the Abolition of Death Penalty; Community of Sant’Egidio and Life Wire International Foundation. At least there are more than 2,000 Nigerians condemned to death in Nigeria, says a coalition of international organizations. This was disclosed during a press conference held in Abuja on Thursday after visiting different prisons across Nigeria, including Ikoyi, Kirikiri, Port Harcourt and Enugu. The coalition included the World Coalition for the Abolition of Death Penalty; Community of Sant’Egidio and Life Wire International Foundation. The Vice-President, World Coalition for the Abolition of Death Penalty, Ms. Annemarie Pieters, said they welcomed the fact that the new law provided the possibility to change capital punishment to life imprisonment after 10 years. “The death penalty is not carried out frequently, only seven in the last decade, resulting in a kind of ‘de facto moratorium’ on execution. “We express concern for the fact that Nigeria continues to have many death sentences, despite the proven fact that this is not a deterrent factor for new crimes to be committed. “By the end of 2018, there are over 2,000 people on death row in Nigeria, including at least 46 people that have been sentenced to death that year, which is the highest number of people on death row in the region by the end of 2018,” said Pieters.

One of the reasons I don't bother insulting those politicians is because majority, I mean vast majority, would do worse if given the chance to. Esp the youths. The get-rich-quick syndrome is toxic. 2 Likes 1 Share |

No matter what this coalition says, to me death penalty is still the best option for a country where kidnapping, culitism and gang starism has become the order of the day....all those who gets involve in the above crimes have already sign a pact with the devil that life means nothing to them so no second chance when caught...we send them straight to the underworld! 6 Likes 1 Share |
