Capital punishment: Those who rape and kill must be killed – Primate of Anglican Church

From Nigeria-

Primate of the Church of Nigeria,Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has joined in the bashing of those opposed to capital punishment in the country, saying they are ill-informed.

The Influential religious leader was reacting to the objection of foreign countries and international bodies on the recent execution of four inmates in Benin, Edo state.

The United Nations, Amnesty International and European Union, among others had opposed the action of the state government.

But the cleric urged the federal and state governments not to allow itself to be cajoled, advocating the imposition of capital punishment on people guilty of heinous crimes, particularly on rapists and killers.

At a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Okoh stated that the Amnesty International and others had no justification to have criticised the government’s action, since they were not directly or indirectly affected by the action of the criminals.
