摘要

两个错误不能构成一个正确；在尼日利亚，几乎没有任何理由继续使用死刑（死亡）作为一种惩罚形式。本文将探讨，尽管死刑在尼日利亚是宪法允许的惩罚形式，但它违背了最近在文明、犯罪学和人权领域取得的积极和发展进步。本文倾向于废奴主义的观点，认为终身监禁作为一种威慑手段与死刑一样有效。

Thou Shall Not Kill: The Constitutionality of Death Penalty Under Nigerian Legal System

Abstract Two wrongs cannot make a right; there is hardly any justification for the continual use of capital punishment (death) as a form of punishment in Nigeria. This paper will canvass that, even though death penalty is a constitutionally permissible form of punishment in Nigeria, but it goes against the recent positive and developmental strides in the areas of civilization, criminology and human right. The paper leans in favor of the abolitionist perspective by arguing that life imprisonment is as effective as the death penalty as a means of deterrence.

期刊介绍： Issues in Legal Scholarship presents cutting-edge legal and policy research using the format of online peer-reviewed symposia. The journal’s emphasis on interdisciplinary work and legal theory extends to recent symposium topics such as Single-Sex Marriage, The Reformation of American Administrative Law, and Catastrophic Risks. The symposia systematically address emerging issues of great significance, offering ongoing scholarship of interest to a wide range of policy and legal researchers. Online publication makes it possible for other researchers to find the best and latest quickly, as well as to join in further discussion. Each symposium aims to be a living forum with ongoing publications and commentaries.
