Reports reaching us say the Cross River state anti-kidnapping bill, has been signed into law, by the Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade. The law stipulates a death penalty for anyone found guilty of kidnapping in the state.

Also in accordance with the law, the state has the right to confiscate the assets, as well as freeze accounts of convicted kidnappers.

Also speaking on the newly signed social housing law, Gov. Ayade said “The most emotional bill to me is the Social Housing Law which seeks to provide housing for the poorest of the poor in the state. Various researches have linked corruption in civil service to housing. It has also been proven that given the salaries of average civil servants, if they don’t originate memos that give them extra money, if they don’t compromise, there is no civil servant in Nigeria that will be able to build a house. So, by virtue of our salary structure, you have already created a catalyst for corruption to thrive.”

Adding that “By this bill, housing in Cross River State is now a right to the citizenry, it may not be justiciable at this point in time but we have created a legal stimulus to drive the structure that we can achieve housing for everybody, and in the process, stamp out all mud and thatch houses in Cross River State.”

Opening ones teeth does not equate to laughter.

It's Better and I wana blv that this will drastically reduce the high rate of kidnaping the state!

It's a welcome development! Agarawu Buygala Dharniel Temitemi1 change of location should come to you guys mind!




Cheeeeers

Gbam! Remain buhari to declare

Lagos and ogun need this law more.

Death penalty for rape!

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Why can't they declare same for rapist and corrupt politicians?

They signed it into law because it's only the rich who get kidnapped. Who kidnaps the poor by the way? Until I see laws that directly affect and protect the poor masses then I refuse to be fooled. Corruption is the bane of NIGERIA's problem. If there is zero corruption, there will be jobs and kidnapping will reduce. Why not death penalty for corrupt persons or whoever steal money meant for the cross riverians?

Am very sure it's just to scare criminals as states in Nigeria ain't fully autonomous

when a good score of kidnappers are puppets of some politician, therefore this law passed would eventually be waved away on some while some would be brutally murdered...

No. There would be a barrage of false accusation and even setup of people by the women folk, especially people who may have offended them in some ways.

And why is there no death penalty for stealers of national wealth?
