Nigeria passes new law for child rapists

by Marchisio Boateng September 11, 2020, 3:12 pm

Nigeria lawmakers in Kaduna State have passed a new law for surgical castration as punishment for culprits of rapists.

The Federal law of Nigeria as a country provides between 14 years and life imprisonment as punishment, but state legislators can set different sentencing rules.

State governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai needs to sign the bill for it to become law in the north-western state.

He has previously supported castration to prevent rapists from re-offending so it is just a matter of time for the law to be implemented in Kaduna state.
