I support capital punishment for an act like terrorism, but the problem comes from who the punishment is prescribed. For instance, the media reports of an arrest of 'suspected terrorists' which means anyone can be a suspect. Law enforcement authorities are known for arresting and imprisoning innocent people. If trials are conducted in accordance to due process and the rule of law and a suspect is beyond reasonable doubt found guilty, then death would be an appropriate punishment. The legal system in Nigeria is highly flawed and I worry that innocent people may be declared terrorists and killed by the state.

Bullshit, If there's laws that calls for capital Punishment in Nigeria, it is that of Crime against the natioin in which Jonathan and his Executives in the roach government have recklessly engaged since he took office.This man have proven over and over why he's so incompetent to be the President of a real nation like Nigeria. His action continue to betray who is by default. This country have called for his government to invoke the death penalty to stop the relentless looting and carnage over the national treasury and he remined adamant because he's aware the first victim to such legislation will be himself and his executives. Here's him invoking the same legislation against containment of the natural response to his crime of looting and robbery agaist the nations treasury. It is obvious this man have no idea he's is on contract to hold this nation for a brief period on behalf of the people who voted him to govern Boko Harem , I have always argued, came as a natural response to an evil government. Social and political instability is not going away untill the people's will is enforced of respected. You can twist history as long as you want, you can not twist the course of nature .
