Williams Uchemba Demands Death Penalty For Kidnappers As Insecurity Worsens In Nigeria
Actor and filmmaker Williams Uchemba has called for the execution of kidnappers as a way to address Nigeria’s worsening insecurity crisis. In a passionate video shared on his social media page, the Nollywood star expressed frustration over the government’s failure to enforce existing laws, saying that only strict punishment can deter criminals. Using an analogy, Uchemba compared the country’s tolerance for criminal behavior to a mother who refuses to discipline her child for stealing meat from the pot, warning that such leniency only nurtures hardened criminals. “When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot and the mother does very little in terms of punishment, she’s breeding a hardened criminal who may one day destroy her life or bring disgrace to the family,” he said. He argued that Nigeria’s constitution already prescribes death as the penalty for kidnapping, yet many offenders escape without facing consequences. “The capital punishment for kidnapping is death. Some of these kidnappers are caught, but we don’t hear anything about their imprisonment or execution. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated channel — like BBNaija — that shows these criminals being caught and publicly executed. Until we start enforcing real consequences, we won’t see results,” he said. Uchemba further compared Nigeria’s justice system to China’s, where corruption and kidnapping attract the death penalty. “We want to be like China, but we don’t have the courage China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption there is death,” he added. His remarks have since sparked debate across social media. While some Nigerians supported his call for tougher laws to deter crime, others warned that such measures could lead to abuse of power and wrongful executions. Uchemba’s statement adds to growing public frustration over the surge in kidnapping incidents nationwide and the slow response of authorities in bringing perpetrators to justice.

Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Brain Aneurysm Discovered After Stress From Kanye West Divorce
Kim Kardashian has revealed that she was diagnosed with a small brain aneurysm, a discovery she said came after a period of emotional turmoil following her split from Kanye West. The reality TV star and business mogul made the revelation during the premiere of The Kardashians Season 7, which aired on Thursday. In a candid conversation with her sister Kourtney, the 45-year-old SKIMS founder explained that the condition was detected during a recent MRI scan. She admitted that she believes the aneurysm was likely brought on by the stress she endured amid her high-profile divorce from Kanye West. “I feel more stressed probably just because I have to protect my kids. Everyone around can handle it, but I just want to protect my babies,” Kim said. Kim and Kanye, who were married in 2014, finalized their divorce in 2024. They share four children together — North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6. Her emotional revelation has sparked an outpouring of support from fans and celebrities alike, with many sending prayers and encouragement as she faces the health challenge.
