I've said it before, that this country is giving too much attention to NGO activism in matters of where they do not deserve a hearing. Capital punishment should be implemented as the law lays it period. Now they are clamouring to "reform" our jails and prisons, imagine the LCD TV sets, 3 course meals, conjugal rights etc. Soon these places will be too crowded and the CSR crusaders will not be there. In a country where citizens living around refugee camps prefer living in the camps than their own homes, such indulgence will only spark more chaos and confusion.
The police+ media sensionalised the adventures of one Onyancha so much that we can't rule out that he's attracted a few kids here and there with his "cool" and calm demeanour. Going further and not executing him will send the wrong signals.
@Bkismat, an accident can be arranged.
