  • At a security event in Abuja, Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu proposed a death penalty measure for those who kill security personnel. He shared the benefit of such measure.

The article from Legit.ng discusses a significant policy announcement by former Nigerian Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who declared that killers of security personnel in Kaduna State would face the death penalty. This declaration was made in response to the increasing attacks on security forces, aiming to deter such criminal acts through stringent punishment. El-Rufai emphasized the need for justice and security, stating that this measure would serve as a deterrent and ensure that those who take the lives of security operatives, who are protectors of the public, face the ultimate punishment. The announcement has sparked a debate on the effectiveness and morality of capital punishment in Nigeria, with some supporting the move as a necessary response to escalating violence, while others criticize it for potentially leading to miscarriages of justice and not addressing underlying issues fueling such violence.
