Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba Demands Public Execution Of Kidnappers

Nollywood actor, Williams Uchemba, has called for public execution of convicted kidnappers in Nigeria.

Abia Radio News reports that the thespian made the call in the wake of kidnappings happening in the country, and many have expressed fear as the yuletide draws closer.

In a video shared on his Instagram page on Friday, Williams argued that if people do not see the consequences of crimes such as kidnapping, the crime rate will continue to flourish.

The film star also cited China, stating that the capital punishment for kidnapping and corruption in the country is death.

In his words, “When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot and the mother upon catching the child does very little in terms of punishment or showing the child this is the consequences of this, what the mother is doing is she is breeding a hardened criminal that will eventually grow up and even destroy her own life or become a national disgrace to the family.

“We have a constitution that governs this country and I do not see why when it is time to execute that constitution, we are not as vocal as we should be.

“The capital punishment for kidnapping is death. Some of these kidnappers are caught. We don’t hear anything whether they are being imprisoned or executed. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated Channel just like BBNaija that is dedicated to catching some of these people that do these things and are publicly executed because until we start executing consequences to certain actions, we cannot see the results.

“We want to be like China but we do not have the balls that China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption in China is death.”
