The House of Assembly passed the bill on July 1, 2021.
Bello said the Kidnapping and Cattle Rustling Special Provisions Law of 2016 was amended to provide for the punishment of informants and all those involved in the aiding and abetting of kidnapping and cattle rustling in the state.
According to him, informants who aid and abet kidnappers would now have to face death by hanging in public. x
“The law now provides that whoever instigates any person to kidnap a person or rustle cattle, or intentionally aids, abets or facilitate by any acts of omission or commission of the offence of kidnapping and or cattle rustling is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to death by hanging in public,” he said.
