WHEN YOU LOOK AT MANY EVILS THAT THESE ARMED ROBBERS AND PEN ROBBERS HAS DONE TO PEOPLE OF NIGERIA YOU WONDER WHEN IS THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD IS GOING TO COME UPON THEM. WELL LET US WAIT AND SEE , THE QUESTION I AM ASKING THE GOVERNOR IS WHEN IS THE TIME THE NIGERIA GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE PROSECUTING THE PEN ROBBERS AS WELL IN NIGERIA. YOU READ IT DAY AND NIGHT HOW THIS GOVERNORS, MINISTERS, HEAD OF STATE ARE STEALING MONEY , WHEN IS NIGERIA GOING TO BE KILLING SUCH PEOPLE. I BELEIVE IS HIGH TIME THE JUDGEMENT SHOULD START FROM HOUSE OF THY LORD. THANK YOU.

Joel I agree with you. it shall serve as a deterent for others. Didn't the Kill before such a judgement is reached?

Maybe you shd have told them that they needed not commit the crime in the first instance. sorry mate, this is our constitution, the impunity from lack of justice is what has broughtus to where we are now. Its time to do what we gotta do. kill them once condemned to death.

I do not see the fault in a governor performing his statutory and constitutional duty.Come to think of it,he was not the judge in their cases and one will expect a reasonable governor like Oshiomhole not to agree less on the views of the prison authority.Our prisons' conditions in this part of the world is peculiar : congestion everywhere and jail break traceable to these categories of inmates; men ,his action to me is justifiable.Are these condemned men to be executed without cause ?Have they not killed live( s) also to be in their present precarious situation ? Are those lives terminated by them less in value to theirs ? Surely,we need punishment that will serve as deterrent ? Are there no form of human execution or capital punishment in the Western Nations of the world,where the amnesty organization are homed ? Please let them think right. Thanks

If any of those guys comdemned to execution were the
Son of the governor, would he have signed the death warrant?
What offence could be worse than government officials looting the country
blind and going scot free.

B4 u ol start throwin stones @ d gov..rmba he wasn't d judge of d said case,,bsydz d law z so xpressly spelt out wit penalties 4 evry offense.!no1 knowz d crime d@ wz committd..so if a death penalty z his lot den so b IT!!! Mayb2mao sm of u will cry injustice agn wen d ALLU4 case begins???

UNLESS WE ARE ABLE TO ENFORCE DEATH FOR ANY BODY WHO KILLS A HUMAN BEING IN NIGERIA, THAN WE ARE NOT READY TO HAVE SANITY IN OUR SOCIETY. IT MUST BE AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. THIS DEATH PENELTY SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO THOSE WHO KILL ONLY. IT MUST BE EXTENDED TO ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THAT AFFECTS NIGERIANS WHO DIE WHILE STANDING ON THEIR FOOT BECAUSE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF SOME PEOPLE WITHOUT HUMAN FEELINGS.
IT MUST INCLUDE FUEL SUBSIDY FRAUD, STEALING OF GOVT. FUNDS, RAPE ESPECIALLY OF THE UNDER AGED, ARMED ROBBERY, ETC.
WE MUST IGNORE THE SO CALLED HUMAN RIGHTS WHO SAY SOMEBODY THAT KILLS SHOULD NOT BE KILLED. THEY ARE THE SPOILERS OF OUR COUNTRY.
WE MUST DO THIS TO HAVE SANITY AND DISCIPLINE IN OUR SOCIETY.

The law cant continue to catch up with the poor  and not the big theives in politics and co.

When are senator Lawan and Otedola having their own date with history? When would Jonathan who is protecting the criminals have his own share of justice? OBJ, IBB, Abdusalami, all corrupt present and past governors and co. do not deserve better.. It is wrong that only poor people that get justice in Nigeria.

UK got rid of death penalty, now you hear of murders on literally every news bulletin. Murderers just wipe out whole families and don't give a damn. For a country of 60 million they have more murders a month than Nigeria of 160 million has in a year. In USA states that have abolished the death penalty have more violent crime than those where a victim's life still counts for something.
The Governor has done nothing wrong. If you take a life then you must face the consequences.

its an irony that somebody that takes some one else's life will expect his to be preserved. Any man that lives by the sword will definitely die by the sword

Death sentence is a crime against humanity while murdering pple is a just cause abi?

At times, some of us pretend to be holier than the Pope. What is wrong in what the Gov did as part of his constitutional right? When those condemned send others to untimely grave, do they think twice? It is even the Govs that are not doing what they are suppose to do. Sign and kill where the process of the law has been properly followed. Aside, is it the Gov that went and ask for the prisoners' file that some people are making it look as if he is blood thirsty? The consequence of what they did (even though not stated here) must have been viewed by the judge before condemning them. What about the ones he commuted their sentense and those indicated to be set free? Lets be fair. Kill them so others will avoid killing innocent people too. Ride on my amiable Gov. Other wicked Govs did not want to sign death warant but they are killing Nigerians but embessling their common wealth, can we deceive God?

U so an idiot. Where is justice for the victims of these cold killers? Did Oshiomole sentence them to death in the first place? If ur family member get murdered, tell the judge to set the killers free.

Sahara reporters and its elemental journalist should go learn how to write a balanced report. They make politics out of everything. Was Oshiomole the judge that sentenced them to death? This amnesty shit should go fuck themselves. Bunch of hypocrites.

Section 33, 1999 constitution guarantees the right to life of all individuals
It also gives circumstances under which one could be deprived of this right.
The action by the Edo state governor is outside the law.
It's unconstitutional to execute someone pending appeal.
Nosiru Bello v. A G Oyo State, a judicial precedent, affirms this position. My humble appeal is tha the governor should make recourse to the law.

I strongly condem the signing of the death warrant to evil can never make right.
Or is the Governor thirsty for blood all this ogboni people.

from the story I will be more interested in the offence commited that led them to death row . I will never support the abolition of death sentence.

Tomorrow you will tell me that the killers of the 4 uniport students in Aluu should equally be set free abi? Please give me a break. You should have investigated and found out their crimes before trying to condemn the governor. If you hear of the crime some of these robbers have committed, pains they have caused families, lives that have been cut short prematurely then you will wonder why we are wasting tax payer's money feeding such likes and that killing them is doing them a favour considering the pain they have caused others.

I read some people's comments and I'm forced to ask that they go seek proper education.
What has Tinubu or ACN got to do with the issue at hand.
The writer lopsided write up didn't even say Oshiomole sentenced them to death; is the Governor the Judge that pronounce death sentence on this man? No. Duty merely put it on him as the Governor of the State to give assent or otherwise even after a death sentence. It was equally made clear that the call for action came from the prison official who consider this man a big threat and unmanageable. If someone on a death row is still not remorseful and repentant I doubt if he appreciates life.
So don't just talk because its ACN govt. Talk because of merit and let it be seen that there are brains in that skull

ACN and CPC are very wicked party, the cock is finally comming home to roost, am ashamed of oshomole period.

Even stupid people take breaks from STUPIDITY...

Deri is one of the media assistants to the President. He has been using a Psedo-name

That is a very strange one.. who would have guessed...

I truly feel you. Who on earth will support people who will execute him and his paymasters for robbing the masses on a daily basis through the use of pen/ international trips, squandering and misusing the tax payers money, maiming and enslaving the majority of the populace in their very home country. The evil machinations of your bosses to which you keep defending will catch up with you and your generation soon. Try watch out cos the wrath of those whom have been hurt will soon befall you. You forget we live in a world where you will be tracked through the use of internet. Majority of Nigerians rather taste the stew these guys are cooking than wait for the feast PDP promised for over 12 years which only gets served to crumb/kpesh seekers, psychopaths, men who lack principles and also a confused generation whom have come to understand the only way forward is by playing dirty.

Unmanageable?
What do you mean unmanageable?
Oh you mean Incompetent Prison Security Administration?
I see.

'Mr. Ike, an inmate on death row in Enugu Prisons, was recently brought to Benin Prison to be executed'. The story does not flow.

Do u know the meaning of rule of law? Does that guarantee criminals to be killing innocent citizens? Are those they killed chikens or human being? or are you one of the criminals? Those who killed by the sword must die by the sword hence it is intentional.
