I am Following God’s Law With Death Sentence Oshiomhole Says

The governor of Edo State; Adams Oshiomhole has defended the signing of the death warrants on two armed robbers that were condemned to death in Edo state recently.
He warned citizens in the state that his administration will not fail to hand down the capital punishment to anyone found culpable.

He was speaking at a gathering organised by the Public Complaints Commission of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) where Nigerians from different walks of life gathered to examine the role of the commission in the nation’s democracy.
The Governor who incurred global outrage for passing the capital sentence on four convicts in state explained that God created heaven and hell side by side to keep repentants in heaven and permanently keep the unrepentatnt in hell fire.
However discussion shifted to issues of human rights in Nigeria and the European Union Head of Delegation; David Macrae used the event as an avenue to speak on the European Union’s perception of human rights in Nigeria, one of which is the need for the country to abolish the death penalty in its criminal justice system.
This suggestion however, was not acceptable to the governor of Edo state who recently signed the death warrants for two condemned criminals. He did not mince words to warn would-be offenders that the government of Edo state will not fail to hand down the appropriate punishment to offenders.
Speaking on the Public Complaints Commission, governor Oshiomhole was of the opinion that prosecutor powers should be granted to the commission, thus,making them more effective.
