Businesslist:
Any offence that attracts the death penalty is generally known and termed a capital offence. This term was derived from the Latin word 'capitalis' which referred to execution by beheading. Although some countries have kicked against this form of punishment claiming that it is unfair, it is however still applicable in Nigeria.

Section 33 of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees every citizen's right to life except where a court sentence has been issued in respect of a criminal offence that a person been found guilty of. In this article, we would examine the different examples of capital offence in Nigeria. Some include:

1. Murder:

Also referred to as homicide, it involves the killing of another person in a manner not justified by law. Section 319 of the Criminal Code prescribes the death penalty as punishment for murder .

There are certain situations where killing a person would not be unlawful. Where a police officer shoots an escaping suspect, or where the millitary kills terrorists, it will not be murder.

2. Armed robbery:

This refers to committing the act of stealing by a person carrying a dangerous weapon. It does not matter if such weapon was brandished or used. Section 402 provides that a person guilty of armed robbery is to be sentenced to death.

3. Treason:

An attempt by a person to overthrow a government he or she is subject to is called treason. Section 37 of the Criminal Code prescribes the death penalty as punishment for treason.

4. Conspiracy to commit treason:

Section 37 of the Criminal Code also prescribes the death penalty as punishment for anyone who conspires to commit treason. This could be by supplying weapons to overthrow a government, giving information to an enemy of the government or by doing any other act against one's allegiance to the government.

Other offences punishable by death include:

5. Fabricating false evidence leading to the conviction of death of an innocent person

6. Aiding the suicide of an innocent child or a lunatic

Corruption should be punishable by death. Africa especially Nigeria would have moved forward than this if guillotining corrupt officials is the punishment for corruption.

Okay so which punishment will be meted out to those who have vowed in their hearts never to allow us see food to eat. People that have vowed to worship and serve the devil there by making things hard for the common man. People whose hunger and devilish desire,quest and pursuit of money is always detrimental to the growth and development of people under them. Theirs should be worst than death. They should be subjected to perpetual suffering and gnashing of teeth!
Talk about our politicians undecided

Like Maina

He cause the death of so many yet he's in an air-conditioned self contained called prison undecided

Just for 8years shocked shocked

When this evil government wants to justify an unjust treatment, that's when they pay writers to put out this rubbish!

If this write-up is for Nnamdi Kanu, it will backfire!

Re: 6 Offences Punishable By Death In Nigeria by Lokojatoofar: 12:39pm On Nov 18, 2021
Since many Nigerians are armed robbers, or sympathizers of their armed robber friends and family, they will hate the fact that armed robbery is punishable by death.
