“The Catholic Church does not support death penalty as punitive to crime.”
While many groups and individuals in the state applauded the bill, the Catholic organisation kicked against it.
Kehinde advocated for repeal of criminal laws in the state and country at large and that prisons should be overhauled in order for inmates to be rehabilitated so that once they leave the custodies, they would become reformed in the society. Owoeye said that ever since the issue of Amotekun Corps came to fore, there have been downward trends in the cases of kidnapping in Osun and other South-West states.
Meanwhile, groups and individuals at the hearing have asked the lawmakers to go ahead and pass the bill.
