The Speaker said it is the only measure to be taken to end the rampant cases of rape in the society
The Kano State House of Assembly has begun a process to further amend the State’s Penal Code amendment , Law of 2014 to provide for castration as punishment for rape in the state.
Mr Alhassan, who called for the review of the law to further reflect a harsher punishment for rapists in the state, said the present 14 years jail punishment was not enough. “I also want to appeal to the House to look into the security issues, so as to strengthen their efforts in tackling the rape cases in the state,” he appealed.
Mr Alhassan also asked the House to find out how the rape cases were being handled by the courts in the state.
