A bill proposing life imprisonment for the offence of kidnapping or any form of abduction, wrongful restraint and confinement on Tuesday passed second

The bill sponsored by Senator Ibikunle Amosun seeks to, among others, introduce stiffer punishments and punitive measures to combat and prevent kidnapping in Nigeria.

He added, “while the insurgents in the North East now thrive on the proceeds of kidnappings, criminal elements in the South East and South West are also having a field day.

He bemoaned the worrisome development, warning that the trend has the potential of negatively affecting Nigeria’s Foreign Direct Investment. “To achieve the deterrent effect, life imprisonment is proposed for the offence of kidnapping, particularly where death results from the act.
