The Senate yesterday resolved to prescribing death
penalty for kidnappers.
Senators were outraged that kidnapping and hostage-taking,
which used to be contained in the Southsouth and Southeast, was becoming wide spread.
Senator Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), who spoke, proposed
that the National Assembly should enact a law prescribing the death penalty for
kidnappers and was seconded by Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi
West) who asked the Senate to come up with measures to address kidnapping.
He said “kidnappers should die by firing squad or by
hanging.
When Senate President
Bukola Saraki put it to vote.
