Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday signed the anti-kidnapping bill recently passed by the Lagos State House of Assembly into law.
The governor vowed to ensure it full implementation to stop the activities of kidnappers in the state.
The Prohibition of the Act of Kidnapping Law imposes a penalty of life imprisonment on kidnapping for ransom.
The law also stipulates that where a victim dies in the course of kidnap, the suspect is liable on conviction to death.
