Sixty-seven-year old Brad Keith Sigmon, an inmate at the South Carolina Department of Corrections in the United States, was executed by firing squad on Friday. It was the first such execution in the US since 2010, and the fourth since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Sigmon selected the firing squad out of three state-approved methods of execution; others are lethal injection or the electric chair. Convicted of double homicide, he was declared deceased by a physician at 6:08 p.m. ET, officials announced at a news conference. Sigmon was found guilty of the deaths of his former girlfriend’s parents in 2001. He kidnapped the ex-girlfriend after the murders, but she broke free. “I want my closing statement to be one of love and a calling to my fellow Christians to help us end the death penalty,” Sigmon appealed in a statement. 1 Like

This is how to reduce crime, the best deterrence, and this also reduces the number of the worst type of demons in society. 10 Likes |

"Sigmon was found guilty of the deaths of his former girlfriend’s parents in 2001. He kidnapped the ex-girlfriend after the murders, but she broke free." Well deserved death. He who live by the sword has to die by the sword. |

This should be introduced back into the Nigerian system with a very strong and independent judiciary. People like Yaya bello, Rapists, ritualists, skull miners, drug dealers, fake product merchants,paternity fraudsters, etc should be facing firing squads |

Saga16:Jokes on you, this is the best way to deter killers, Nigeria that doesn't apply death penalty, how civilised are we? Twisted you seem |

Ushman333:Have you ever seen a slow down in violent crime due to the death sentence?  |
| Re: Just IN: US Conducts First Firing Squad Execution In 15 Years by Ushman333: 7:12pm On Mar 08, 2025 |
BondRiv:It's because we have weak leaders, amnesty international only control weak government, it has no authority over a sovereign country. Japan, America, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar all use death penalty, amnesty can't challenge them, but they see our politicians like their servants, and our politicians are always scared of amnesty, they rather kidnappers kill at will and live, the good citizens die while kidnappers prosper. The politicians don't care about life of Nigerians. |
| Re: Just IN: US Conducts First Firing Squad Execution In 15 Years by Ushman333: 7:13pm On Mar 08, 2025 |
Saga16:Yes based on the numbers, Nigeria has far higher violent crimes than America, kidnapping, terrorism etc, I don't hear of kidnappings at this rate in China and America. Don't be a lame duck, the state must enact laws to protect the people...why do you value the life of a terrorist, are you slow? 1 Like |

Ushman333:Thanks for making my point. The death sentence is the law in Nigeria and every state implements it. That's not the case in USA. |

Saga16:Death warrants are not being signed by elected politicians - governors. I don't know what you are saying, no one has been executed in Nigeria since the military days, and this is why the country is almost run over by kidnappers and terrorists... people like you are living in a bubble. |
