Kidnappers training school uncovered in Delta


                                   


Delta state governor has revealed  that a school for training of kidnappers had been uncovered in the state.

As a state government, we have been dealing with kidnapping. Presently, we have been able to identify some hot spots in the state, what are called the red spots, where kidnappers are trained. 

Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has refused to sign the death penalty Bill passed by the state House of Assembly, prescribing death penalty for kidnappers.

 There is already a death penalty in our laws. Every kidnapper is an armed robber, I believe, so I don't know why we are talking today of death penalty for kidnappers. When you go to court, the case is usually kidnapping/armed robbery. Why do I have to sign another law for kidnappers?

Once you are a kidnapper, you are also an armed robber. The law is already there to sentence kidnappers to death. And I must say that in this state, in the last few months, our judges have been bold enough to convict many kidnappers. They are working hard to sentence more kidnappers.
