I will not sign death warrants --
Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has said he will not sign the death warrants of condemned criminals saying he, as a medical doctor, is trained to save lives and not to take, just as he enjoined communities in the state to focus on farming and boost agricultural production not only to become self-sufficient but to sell and increase their earning power.
There were no plans to review laws on death sentence, Home Minister P. Chidambaram clarified Wednesday and said the present government had disposed of a large number of mercy petitions.
