Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi, says there is a tenable and compelling reason why governors are dil\u200bly\u200bdal\u200bly\u200bing in signing death warrants.<\/p>\n

He, however, promised to start signing death warrants soon.<\/p>\n

Mohammed made the promise on Friday in Bauchi while signing the Violence against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) bill<\/a> and a bill for the establishment of the Bauchi state penal code, into law.<\/p>\n

In Nigeria, state governors are backed by law to sign the death warrants.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, no governor has been reported to have signed death warrants.<\/p>\n

In July, Rauf Aregbesola, minister of interior, called on governors to sign death warrants in order to decongest prisons.<\/p>\n

However, many civil society organisations (CSOs) had disagreed with minister, saying death penalty should be replaced with long-term imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the death warrants, the Bauchi governor said some governors are refusing to sign on the basis of the possibility of erroneously condemning a person to death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will soon be signing some death sentences because there are many and because of justice which has to be taken to a logical conclusion,\u201d NAN quoted the governor as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know some governors are running away from signing the death sentences because they exercise restraints on the basis that there may be some element of error.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut to me, I will leave it to my lord (the chief judge) who will prosecute. It\u2019s not my fault. If it is brought to my attention, I will do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the Violence against Persons Prohibition Act, we know that we are the first in the northern part of the country to enact the law, which is a member\u2019s bill incidentally from the honourable speaker, and it has earned us a lot of respect in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut because of some noticed gaps, it was taken back and it was corrected. We thank the house for making the corrections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mohammed\u2019s comment comes amid the recent position by Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano, who had promised to sign the death warrant of a suspect if the latter was convicted for killing a five-year-old in the state.<\/p>\n

A high court in Kano state had, in July, sentenced Abdulmalik Tanko, the self-confessed killer of Hanifa Abubakar, the five-year-old girl, to death.<\/p>\n

It is, however, not clear if the convict appealed the court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
