The Specialist of Penitentiaries in Niger State has said that no non military personnel senator has marked the passing warrant for the execution of convicts since 1999.
Regardless of the conviction and condemning to death of a few crooks by a few courts in the nation, no non military personnel senator has marked the passing warrant for the execution of such convicts, in this way prompting the blockage of detainment facilities the nation over.
The Specialist of Penitentiaries in Niger State, Alhaji Mohammed Babagana, who revealed this in a meeting with newsmen in Minna, said the last execution completed anyplace in the nation was amid the military administration.
Babagana said therefore, the greater part of the detainment facilities in the nation are presently congested with a few of the detainees anticipating execution while others were anticipating trial.
"Since the origin of the present popularity based government in the nation over the most recent 18 years, no state senator has supported any demise warrant of convicts in their states.
"This is in charge of the expanding number of censured detainees sitting tight for the executioner's noose crosswise over jail offices in the nation," he said.
