Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has called on the Nigerian government to implement public executions for convicted kidnappers.
He argues that visible and decisive punishment remains the only effective deterrent against the country’s escalating abduction crisis.
In a passionate video shared on his Instagram page,William Uchemba expressed frustration over what he described as the government’s lax enforcement of existing laws on capital punishment.
Also, he stated that the lack of strict consequences continues to embolden criminals to operate with impunity.
Referencing China as an example, the actor noted that the Asian nation enforces the death penalty for severe crimes such as kidnapping and corruption.
He believes contributes significantly to its low crime rate.
“The capital punishment for kidnapping is death, yet when offenders are arrested, we hardly hear what happens afterwards,” Uchemba said.
“If you ask me, there should even be a dedicated TV channel showing the arrest and public execution of convicted kidnappers. Until real consequences are enforced, nothing will change.”
His remarks come amid a surge in kidnapping incidents across Nigeria, particularly as the festive season approaches
Also this is a period often linked with rising criminal activity.
William Uchemba urged authorities to take decisive action.
