The court handed down the sentences following proceedings in which the four men were convicted over their involvement in kidnapping-related offences in the state.
The case was heard by Edo State’s special court established to deal with serious criminal offences, including kidnapping. The death sentences add to the state’s ongoing efforts to prosecute suspected kidnappers amid concerns over insecurity and abductions.
