The Governor of Edo state, Comrade Adams Oshimole has threatened to sign the death warrants of any convict found guilty of murder. Oshiomole was attacked by the media on july 23 when a report revealed that he had ordered the execution of 4 convicts.
Oshiomole who spoke last thursday in Benin stated this;
''There are seven convicts whose cases are being reviewed. I will sign the death warrant of any of them, especially kidnappers, found to have killed any of their victims.
I believe that those who kill by the sword should also die by the sword''
The Governor further stated that the non-execution of convicted criminals in the last 15 to 20 years had not led to reduction in criminality in the state.
