Archbishop Okoh, who said the president’s action has paid off, added that progress has been made with the state of emergency and subsequent operations of the military in the region
He further added that with patience on the part of Nigerians and more effort by the security agencies, normalcy will once again be returned to the region and the rest of the country.
Reacting to the execution of some armed robbers in Edo state, Archbishop Okoh said the capital punishment was inevitable and should not be resisted when it is the appropriate punishment for criminal offences that hinge on human lives.
