VOLDI's Emmanuel Johnny Calls for Execution Warrants in Edo

Emmanuel Johnny, the National President of the Vision One Leadership Development Initiative (VOLDI), urged the Edo State Governor to sign execution warrants for condemned criminals. He made this call during the 4th Edition of the Nigerian Nation Builders Annual Conference and Awards 2026 at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in Abuja.

Johnny stated that the swift execution of duly convicted criminals would strengthen the fight against insecurity and serve as a deterrent to others. He commended Edo State's security model, which has reportedly reduced cultism, kidnapping, cybercrime, and other violent crimes.

The state has established special courts for the speedy trial of such offences and has laws that include measures like the demolition of properties linked to criminals. Additionally, he recommended the establishment of a Crime Deterrence and Reorientation Centre in each of the state's three senatorial districts to educate youths on the consequences of crime.
