Kidnappers of Young People Deserve Capital Punishment — Remi Tinubu

First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has asserted that individuals convicted of abducting young people should face capital punishment.

She made this statement in response to the recent reports of approximately 200 women being kidnapped in Borno State and over 280 pupils and teachers abducted in Kaduna State.

Additionally, she condemned the actions of the kidnappers, labeling them as coward and evil perpetrators.

Calling on the state governors, the First Lady urged them to find a solution to the situation and ensure that any abductor apprehended is subjected to capital punishment.

The First Lady said, “Whoever is kidnapping young people is sick, cruel, and a coward.

“Enough is enough and I call on the state governors that once we take hold of them, they deserve capital punishment.

“Why don’t they take people their size? Why are they torturing our children? What they are trying to do is kill our future.

“We all know parents, when we are old we rely on our children.

“Why would you go and take them from schools? Right now, I think enough is enough. As a former lawmaker, I believe that any one of them captured deserves capital punishment.

“They are animals, they are evil and we should take them out of our midst.

“The state governors and the lawmakers should do something.”
