Lagos state's governor Akinwunmi Ambode has signed into law the kidnapping prohibition bill which proposes Life Imprisonment or death penalty for the offence of Kidnap and forceful extortion of humans in Lagos State.
The law provides for death penalty for kidnappers whose victims die in their custody, and life imprisonment for the act of kidnapping.
“Security is of utmost importance to our administration, and we are confident that this law will serve as a deterrent to anybody, who may desire to engage in this wicked act within the boundaries of Lagos State," Ambode said after signing the bill.
“Our justice system will be required to execute this law in absolute and make sure that any criminal caught faces the full wrath of the law,” he said.
Based on this, it is very likely, George Evans the billionaire kidnapper who was recently nabbed by authorities, gets a life imprisonment or death penalty sentence.
