From Pwanagba Agabus, Jos
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State on Friday vowed to sign the death warrant for anyone convicted for kidnapping in the State.
The Governor also appealed to Judges to be very firm in trying cases of kidnapping.
Lalong stated this while swearing in the substantive President of the Customary Court of Appeal and five judges of the State high Court and Customary Court of Appeal at the Government House Rayfield Jos.
Lalong who described as worrisome the incidences of kidnapping and other violent crimes in the State frowned at the situation where suspected kidnappers who are arrested are not prosecuted as and when due and in some cases released without charge.
