The Quality of justice is strained, the death penalty in Nigeria

The Quality of justice is strained, the death penalty in Nigeriaaf Chinwe Onuoha
Bag om The Quality of justice is strained, the death penalty in Nigeria

There is no doubt that over the past fifty years a global trend has emerged towards the abolition of the death penalty. Spread over the world including some African countries, many scholars and advocates find the death penalty a violation of the international human rights standards. The aim of this paper is to contribute in showing with practical illustrations that it is important for Nigeria to have a rethink as regards the imposition of the death sentence. Indeed, it may be argued that in any society where the government uses or supports the use of violence - whether or not through its legal system - it fosters the growth of a culture of violence.
