Ohakim to execute convicted kidnappers
Ikedi Ohakim, the Governor of Imo State, said in
Owerri on Monday, that he would not hesitate in signing the death warrants of
convicted kidnappers in the state.
Mr. Ohakim, while fielding questions from journalists during a live state
radio and television programme tagged: ‘The Governor Speaks’ said that
kidnapping had become a “calamity” in the South-East geo-political zone and
required very drastic measures to tackle.
He said governors of the
geo-political zone had decided on very stringent measures against the crime and
would soon make their resolutions public. “We will not run away from our states
because of the activities of criminals that do not constitute one per cent of
the population,” he said. “People should not take this as an excuse not to
invest in this area.”
