“When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot, and the mother, upon catching the child, does very little in terms of punishment  or showing the child this is the consequence of this, what the mother is doing is she is breeding a hardened criminal that will eventually grow up and either destroy her own life or become a national disgrace to the family.

‘‘We have a constitution that governs this country, and I do not see why, when it is time to execute that constitution, we are not as vocal as we should be.

‘‘The capital punishment for kidn@pping is de@th. Some of these kidnappers are caught. We don’t hear anything about whether they are being imprisoned or executed. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated channel just like BBNaija that is dedicated to catching some of these people that do these things and are publicly executed because until we start executing consequences for certain actions, we cannot see the results.

“We want to be like China, but we do not have the balls that China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption in China is de@th,’’ the actor wrote on his Instagram page.
