Senator Ndume Gives Threshold To Apply Death Penalty For Corruption

Nigerian Senator, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has argued that individuals have majorly contributed to the increase of corruption in Nigeria because politicians share their loot with their constituents.

Senator Ndume who said this during a television interview, further highlighted that corruption within Nigerian politics is primarily influenced by individuals and, therefore, suggested that it may not necessitate severe consequences.

He said, “If you compare us, politicians, to all the corruption, it is very small. Our corruption is people-driven. If you steal, you will go and share it with the people. If you don’t, you are not coming back for four years. There is no reason for stealing.

“I have been to the National Assembly, I can’t say because we are on TV now and not telling the truth. If the death penalty is supposed to be included in corruption, I will support it but you don’t go and kill someone that stole one million or one billion, no. But someone who steals one trillion of government money should be killed.

“The death penalty is the best deterrent for those being caught for drugs. If you do drugs, you are killing people.

“In fact, that means you have destroyed the lives of so many people and killed so many people.”
