The Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has endorsed the d3ath penalty for kidnappers and bandits, as proposed by his successor in Edo State, Governor Monday Okpebholo.
Oshiomhole made the endorsement while addressing party supporters in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
According to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Patrick Ebojele, the former governor praised the sanity restored by the Okpebholo administration.
“I stand here to completely endorse the declaration by the governor of Edo State that we are in a federation where every state has the right to enact laws on punishment when it comes to state offences. So kidnappers and bandits will be punished by d3ath through firing squad,” he said.
