Zamfara State in Nigeria okays death penalty for banditry
KANO, Nigeria (AA) – The northwestern Muslim-dominated Zamfara State in Nigeria has approved a death penalty law for anyone found guilty of banditry, cattle rustling, cultism, or serving as an informant for bandits, an official said on Tuesday.
The state government also restricted motorcycle movement from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and directed hotels to scrutinize guests and verify their identity before placing them in their facilities.
Zamfara is one of the frontline areas ravaged by banditry and kidnapping among the seven northwestern states in Nigeria.
