Right to life

Section 33(1) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(1) Every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of the sentence of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
