The last time prisoners on death row were executed was in 2013.The death warrants of those prisoners who had been convicted, was signed by the then governor of Edo state, Adam Oshiomole.
I could remember, he threatened to sign more and he was quoted to have said, that he was simply carrying out God instructions by so doing..
Former president Goodluck Jonathan during his tenure appealed to governors to sign death warrants in order to decongest the prison.
There are instances we may need to apply full wrath of the law, including application of capital punishment.
Capital punishment is not meant to serve as deterrent as far as I am concern, having said this .
Whoever think he has the right to premeditatedly kill, has lost his own right too to live .
Those who have the mandate to sign should not hesitate to do so..
