Child Abductors Face Death Sentence In Akwa Ibom
The Akwa Ibom State Gov
ernor, Godswill Akpabio, has said that anybody found guilty of abducting a child in the state will face death sentence like a kidnapper under the state Child’s Rights and anti-Terrorism Act.
Akpabio said,, during the 50th birthday celebration of the state’s Commissioner for Special Duties, Emmanuel Enoidem that “The trauma parents go through in such incident is always heart breaking and assured that every child abductor would be brought to book.”
He also used the medium to warn teachers to desist from abusing school children in the state because offenders would face stiff punishment.
He said, “We have made direct phone numbers available to school children and their parents so that they can call or send text messages and report any molestation. “I assure them that I will not only punish the teacher in question through dismissal, I will also punish the principal of the school if it comes to my notice that the Principal did not take action to stop the child from being molested. Parents, take care of your wards and ensure that they are not abused and taken into child labour and trafficking.”
Akpabio, who described Enoidem as a man with abundant initiative, advised leaders at various levels to borrow a leaf from him.
He said, “For some of you who have the chance to be managers of resources for Akwa Ibom State, try and develop initiatives, have it in abundance and then move the state from one point to another.”
