It would be recalled that just last week, Governor Ambode had
demonstrated his seriousness and determination to eradicate the menace
of kidnapping when he signed into law the anti-kidnapping bill recently
passed by the State House of Assembly.
The
law imposes a penalty of life imprisonment on kidnapping for ransom and
death penalty in the event of death of a kidnapped victim.
