Nigerian gov’t seeking to enact capital punishment law for kidnap crimes
Nigeria may soon have a law that will prescribe capital punishment for kidnappers.
Kidnapping for ransom is becoming rampant in the country and the Nigerian Senate now says it will commence the process of enacting a law that will punish convicted kidnappers with the death penalty.
But there is still no public agreement on the issue.
