Corruption: Yusuf Ali recommends death penalty

Date: 2012-04-01

An Ilorin-based legal practitioner, Mallam Yusuf Ali (SAN) has recommended death penalty for corrupt public officers to serve as deterrent to others.

He said until Nigerians stop treating the issue of corruption with kids' gloves, the vice would continue to ravage the nation's economy.

Ali made the call in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital during the presentation of laptops to 50 junior lawyers at the Ilorin branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

Each of the beneficiaries would pay "without interest" between a sum of N95, 000 and N85, 000 to acquire one of the gadgets.

The event coincided with the first official duty of the reinstated Chief Judge of the state, Justice Raliat Elelu Habeeb.

Ali said: "Corruption is too serious an issue to be handled with levity. Anybody who is corrupt and so declared by the law court of competent jurisdiction should be executed. This will serve as a lesson to others of like minds.

"We should no longer send them to jail. The practice among some of those found guilty is that they after serving their various jail terms often come back to enjoy the ill gotten wealth.

"But we should henceforth make them not to return to enjoy the loot again. They should be killed."
