A member of the Osun State House of Assembly, Kanmi Ajibola, has canvassed capital punishment for corrupt government officials.
According to Ajibola, the greatest injustice to the law of God and humanity is to allow thieves of the nation’s wealth to live.
Ajibola, representing Oriade State Constituency in the Assembly, stressed that the only and sincere way to curb the menace of high level of stealing of public funds in Nigeria is to eliminate all culprits.
He made his view known in a five-page letter addressed to the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.
The letter was also forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Attorney-General of Osun State and the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun.
In the letter dated March 15, 2024 titled, ‘You can be the Moses and Musa of the present Nigerian generation’, the lawmaker held that there was compelling need to stop and control corruption by capital punishment in Nigeria.
