Armed robbers, terrorists, kidnappers (Especially those that have killed) and ritualists, are suppossed to be killed openly so that those intending to copy them, will see what rewards await them. If they only see the affluence and not the punishment, it will keep growing. The killing of Anini and most criminals in the 80s and early 90's were televised, it didnt affect us kids of those days negatively, rather it made us aware of the fact that the wages of crime could be death.
