Kaduna State House of Assembly has approved castration as punishment for anyone convicted of rape.
This follows the passage of a bill to amend the Kaduna State Penal Court Law, 2017, by the lawmakers.
“The Bill Recommends total Castration for Rapists in the State”
Announcing the development via its Twitter handle on Thursday, the Assembly said the bill was passed into law on Wednesday.
“The Bill Recommends total Castration for Rapists in the State,” the Assembly tweeted.
Currently, the State Penal Law provides for 21 years of imprisonment for rape of an adult and life imprisonment in the case of a child.
