NATIONAL chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Chief Dan Nwanyawu, has called for the creation of special laws and courts in the country, to treat cases of corruption and prosecute offenders.
Nwanyawu, in a chat with the Nigerian Tribune, lamented the level of corruption in the country, just as he advocated death penalties for those found guilty of looting treasuries of government.
He described corruption as a crime against humanity which, according to him, must attract death sentence if only to reduce the impunity with which offenders usually commit the crime.
According to the LP chieftain, “there should be special laws for corruption cases in Nigeria. As far as I am concerned, corruption is a crime against humanity and should attract death sentence. That person must be taken to the community where he comes from and be punished.”
He called on the legislative arm of government to spearhead the struggle for the establishment of special courts to try cases of corruption in the country, such that cases brought before the court would be dispensed with within six months.
Nwanyawu also blamed the courts for encouraging corruption in Nigeria, adding that they grant bails to detained corrupt public officers with mild conditions.
