Tinubu Should Send Death Penalty Bill For Corruption To NASS – Kaka

2 weeks ago 2

Anti-corruption activist, Abba Kaka, has called on President Bola Tinubu to send a death penalty bill for corruption to the National Assembly.

Abba Kaka said Nigeria cannot afford to lose its wealth and international image to corrupt politicians and cybercriminals.

Kaka stated this on Thursday while speaking with Charles Aniagolu on Arise TV. He argued that most of the financial corruption committed in Nigeria would not have been allowed in China.

The main issue is, let’s talk about one of the issues is the cybercrime. These cyber criminals, you know, I’m not going to sit in Nigeria, take my green passport and travel abroad and be seen as a criminal because of these young people who are always on the computers trying to scam somebody.

“So when they go after this, you know, most of them are actually university students. Some of them are, you know, not even in university. So the real thing is like these things exist and somebody has to fight for it.

‘If the agencies are not equipped to fight for them, one, we have to strengthen them. Two, we have to give them leeway to fight. So I’m actually calling on the president to send two bills to the National Assembly.

“One, the first bill should be the death penalty. I wish that all these crimes are committed in China and the answer would have been obvious. So we need a death penalty to be sent to the National Assembly as soon as possible,” he said.

The anti-corruption activist, however, added that he feared the lawmakers may not pass the bill. He also called for training of Police and anti-corruption agencies for optimal performance.

I don’t know if they will pass it or not because most of them are the targets of the bill. Second, I would like the EFCC and the ICPC and the police to be strengthened to fight the mongus criminals we have in the country. How do you do that? Make sure that some part of the recoveries they are making should be given back to their training,” Kaka added.
