Ekiti state government has reacted to the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state by preparing a legal framework under which kidnappers would be sentenced to life imprisonment.
A statement in Ado-Ekiti today by Idowu Adelusi, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Peter Ayodele Feyose, said that the decision was part of the resolutions arrived at yesterday at the State Executive Council meeting presided over by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Kolapo Olusola.
Commenting, the Commissioner for Justice, Owoseni Ajayi, said that the proposed law would help stem the tide of abductions and kidnappings that rocked the state few months ago.
It was also agreed that all moveable properties used by the abductors would be confiscated by the state government. [myad]
