Gov. Matawalle proposes capital punishment for human traffickers

Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, the governor of Zamfara State has urged for tougher penalties for individuals implicated in human trafficking and gender-based violence in the country.

The governor made the plea during a message presented at the British High Commissioner’s house in Maitama, Abuja, to commemorate this year’s “World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.”

This was championed in a press statement signed by his Director-General, Press Affairs, Mr Yusuf Idris Gusau, and made accessible to journalists in Gusau, the state capital, stressing that such measures should be used to all those who collude with others to do the act.

“It will certainly put the victims of human trafficking at the centre of the campaign and will highlight the importance of listening to and learning from survivors of human trafficking which will also provide better approach and response against the menace which looks like the return of slavery in the age that recorded the highest pinnacle of development in all spheres of human existence,” he said.

He stated that having noticed an upsurge in gender-based violence-related issues in Zamfara, his administration set up a high powered committee under the leadership of the first lady of the state with a view to ensuring all policies and programmes involve women and children in order to achieve an egalitarian society which will equally provide a veritable platform for development.
