After Nnamdi Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment, one disturbing comment surfaced: “It should have been kpai by hanging instead of the life sentence, I’m not happy with the judgement at all.”
This isn’t just harsh — it’s chilling. Wanting a fellow human being executed because you dislike his politics crosses from opinion into outright bloodlust. A functioning justice system punishes crimes through lawful, humane measures — not public fantasies of hanging people. When citizens start craving death sentences like a spectacle, it shows how deeply hatred and tribal bias have replaced rational thinking.
Life imprisonment is already the justice system’s maximum non-lethal penalty. Calling for execution doesn’t make you bold; it only fuels more violence in a country already bleeding from conflict.
We can debate decisions without losing our humanity.
