The ex-General Overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church, Rev. Wilson Badejo has suggested that corrupt public officials and others found guilty of corruption should get the death penalty.
He made the proclamation during the tenth anniversary of the Wilson Badejo Foundation in Lagos.
According to him, corruption is a “terrible plague”, which “needs a drastic measure”.
“As a preacher, I am for the sanctity of life. I am pro-life. But in spite of that, and our democracy notwithstanding, I strongly advise that we copy China, which, only last year, decided that those found guilty of high-sum embezzlement or bribe-taking should be executed.
“Maybe if we try the death penalty for corruption and implement the policy steadfastly without minding whose ox is gored, people will stop this madness called looting.
“Maybe it would stop people from stealing our commonwealth blindly and flaunting their blood money in our faces, spraying and dancing on mint-fresh dollars at social parties, making millions of honest and hard-working Nigerians to look like fools,” he said.
