Accident which took lives of some people in Zamfara state (Nigeria) by a reckless driver was absolutely wrong and should be condemned. Any loss of life is totally regrettable and painful but for governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle of Zamfara state to propose death sentence for such offence is completely wrong. Such offence can only attract prison sentence and possibly have the driver’s license of such individual withdrawn. He can also be ban not to drive any vehicle in Nigeria for a period of time. Compensation can also be paid to the families of those who lost their loved ones by the company where the reckless driver works which in our (Viewers Corner News team) opinion is more than enough punishment for the driver and the company but proposing death sentence for such offence is completely wrong. We (Viewers Corner News team) are calling on Zamfara state governor (Hon. Bello Muhammad Matawalle) to kindly drop his proposed death sentence issue on reckless driving in his state. Viewers Corner News team sympathize with the families of those who lost their loved ones in that accident. May their souls rest in peace.
