Kaduna Abduction: Remi Tinubu Demands Capital Punishment For Kidnappers Of Children

Wife of the President Oluremi Tinubu, has called for harsh penalties, including capital punishment for any individual found guilty of kidnapping school children in the country.

Reacting to Thursday morning kidnapping of about 285 pupils and teachers in  LGEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, the First Lady urged state governors and lawmakers to ensure stiffer sanctions to curb the menace of abducting school pupils.

Mrs Tinubu said it is time to “take out” those behind the kidnapping of school students, stressing that enough is enough.

“Addressing journalists on Friday, Mrs Tinubu said: “Whoever is kidnapping young people is sick and a coward, enough is enough. I call on the state government that once we take hold of them it’s capital punishment.

Why don’t they take people their size? Why are they torturing our children? We all know parents rely on children when we are old and as a former lawmaker, I believe any of them should be subjected to capital punishment, enough is enough.

“They are animals, evil, and we should take them out from wherever they come from. The governors and lawmakers should do something.”
