If you are a kidnapper in Cross River State, you might want to change your ways.

State governor, Ben Ayade, on Monday signed the anti-kidnapping bill into law, and it prescribes the death penalty for convicted kidnappers in the state.

According to ThisDay, “the law also empowers the state to seize assets as well as freeze accounts belong to convicted kidnappers and those who aid and abet kidnapping in the state.”
