The government plans to end the death penalty. This decision comes as part of a review of the country's constitution.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, stated that the death penalty will be replaced with life imprisonment.
This change affects several parts of the 1992 Constitution. Articles 3, 13, 19, and 72 are proposed for amendment.
The announcement was made by Dr. Ayine, who is the Attorney General and Minister for Justice.
This move aims to reform the legal system and aligns with international trends away from capital punishment.
The proposed changes will now go through the necessary legislative processes for approval.
