Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has promised to hang kidnappers caught in his state. He told community leaders at Uromi Town Hall he would sign death warrants without hesitation. The governor met with Arewa community members during this session, where he shared his tough stance on crime.
Fred Itua, the governor's Press Secretary, released a statement about these remarks. The Edo State House passed a bill changing the Kidnapping Prohibition Amendment Law of 2013.

Governor Okpebholo stressed that his administration will show zero tolerance toward criminals. According to state law, he plans to make examples of offenders through public executions. The government will use confiscated land to build offices for local security teams. He asked everyone to help fight crime because security depends on all citizens working together.
