The senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole
A former Edo State Governor and Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has thrown his weight behind the proposed death penalty for kidnappers and bandits by the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo.
Oshiomhole said the measure was necessary to curb rising insecurity, insisting that criminals should have no place in Edo State.
The former governor spoke on Saturday while addressing party supporters at the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress campaign for the Edo North Senatorial District local government elections held at the Public Field in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area.
His remarks were contained in a statement issued on Sunday by Governor Okpebholo’s media aide, Patrick Ebojele.
