Rape: El-Rufai’s wife suggests tougher punishment
She lamented, “The existing laws are such that each state is autonomous in its dispensation of criminal laws.”
She suggested that the country needs to begin the unrelenting advocacy and tenacious movement for each state in Nigeria to adopt extremely harsh laws, execution and punishment for rape offenders. Aisha-Ummi Garba El-Rufai opined that it might be difficult and slow for the country to get 2/3rds of the National Assembly to vote for and pass these appropriately severe punishments into law.
She noted that even if this happens, it remains the independent right of each state to either adopt or ignore the bill if passed – at their own pace and convenience.
