THE Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has lamented the rising cases of gender-based violence, especially rape in the state, promising that the Violence Against Persons Prohibition bill he recently

signed into law will be taken to the State Assembly for amendment to include castration of rapists.

The governor said that the VAPP law will be taken back to the State House of Assembly to ensure that areas of conflicts were amended, pointing out that “it will be done to suite our tradition and our societal expectations, because this bill came from there. We have already discussed with the chairperson of the National Council of Women Societies and my wife.”

“Areas where we find out that the punishments are not adequate the way Kaduna did, we will amend it to include those aspects so that castration will also be part of our own . Mohammed said on the issue of Child Rights Act, there are some provisions that are against some traditional perception, especially the issues of early marriage and the rest.

While at it, also look into false rape accusations.

castrating people on rape allegations will not reduce rape incidence. It will only make it harder for victims to come out. This is especially because in a lot of cases, the assaulters are usually people that the victims care about. You can love someone and hate what the do to you

Nice one. They should also include death penalty for public office looters.
