The condemning to death of a Nigerian driver by means of Zoom is "innately coldblooded and obtuse", Human Rights Watch says. The rights bunch was responding to one of Nigeria's first court decisions made utilizing the video talk application due to the coronavirus pandemic. Lagos judge Mojisola Dada condemned Olalekan Hameed to death by hanging for the homicide of his boss' mom. The conference endured just about three hours and was for all intents and purposes went to by legal advisors, including the lawyer general. They all took an interest in Monday's meeting from various areas as a major aspect of endeavors to stop the spread of Covid-19. It was the principal day of the facilitating of lockdown limitations in Lagos, permitting individuals to return to work - albeit everything except pressing court sittings have been suspended. The appointed authority was in the Lagos High Court in Ikeja, Hameed was at Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison and the legal advisors joined from somewhere else. Hameed had argued not blameworthy to executing 76-year-old Jolasun Okunsanya in December 2018. "The sentence of this court upon you, Olalekan Hameed, is that you be hanged by the neck until you be articulated dead and may the Lord show kindness upon your spirit. This is the virtual judgment of the court," Justice Dada is cited as saying. It isn't clear if Hameed will advance against the sentence. The News's Celestina Olulode says under Nigerian law, state governors must favor capital punishments before they can be completed. Capital punishment isn't generally completed in Nigeria - in spite of the fact that courts keep on forcing the sentence. As per Amnesty International, there are still in excess of 2,000 individuals waiting for capital punishment and the last three executions occurred in 2016. Human Rights Watch told the News the making of the virtual court during the coronavirus episode demonstrated a promise to getting to equity. Be that as it may, the legal executive was moving off course by condemning an individual to death by hanging, it said. "The irreversible discipline is old, characteristically barbarous and brutal, it ought to be canceled," Human Rights Watch said. Nigeria has recorded just shy of 3,000 coronavirus cases and almost 100 passings.
