The right to life - A constitutional right
Part 2
EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS TO THE RIGHT TO LIFE AS PROVIDED IN THE CONSTITUTION
Consequently, as stated in the above, right to life is not absolute, because there are exceptions.
Thus, section 33 (2) provides that ,
A person shall not be regarded as having been deprived of his life in contravention of this section, if he dies as a result of the use, to such extent and in such circumstances as are permitted by law,of such force as is reasonably necessary-
(a) for the defence of any person from unlawful violence or for the defence of property.
The above subsection covers self-defense which is a complete defence to a charge of murder or manslaughter, resulting in the acquittal of the accused person, when successfully pleaded. See Ajumva v state (1988) 4 NWLR (Pt. 89) 380.
(b) in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained. see Ibikunle v state (2018) All FWLR(Pt.354) 309 SC.
(c) for the purpose of suppressing a riot, insurrection or mutiny.
The above subsection covers defence of accidental discharge by law enforcement agents which depends on the involuntariness of the act.
It is important to bring to your notice five (5) offences in Nigeria which are punishable by death. These are : treason, murder,treachery, directing and controlling or presiding at an illegal trial by ordeal from which death results and conviction under the Robbery and Fi****ms (Robbery special provisions) Act. In such instances, taking the accused person's life is considered justifiable ,vide section 208 of the criminal code.
It is of essence for us to know that ,where someone life is intentionally taken in the ex*****on of a sentence of a court, in respect of a criminal offence ,it would be said that the right to life is not violated in any way but the accused must be found guilty.
What this part tries to clarify is that there are exceptions and limitations to the right to life.
