Nigeria: MPs Shout Down Abolition Bill - Inter Press Service

Hopes of a reprieve for hundreds of death row inmates in Nigeria were dashed when MPs threw out a bill which would have commuted all death sentences to life imprisonment and down-graded robbery with violence to a non-capital crime.

Sanity prevails.Do not think you have won they will be back with bigger guns.Position yourself now to withstand the onslaught.

You did the right thing,It sure is not working to any degree in SA.(Death penalty abolition)Just do not use it for political gain,that would be wrong.

i think that the bill should bbe reconsidered. however i do not agree that armed robbery should be downgraded to a non capital crime. why would you rob with a weapon if you didnt have the intent to kill. i dont support the "eye for an eye" theory, life imprisonment should be considered as an option
