Lawmaker Advocates Death Penalty For Rapists
Ali, who represents Kawo constituency, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.
He noted that Section 283 of the Penal Code Law only provided a maximum of life imprisonment for convicted defilers, adding that the law should be amended to carry the maximum penalty.
According to him, most r*pists ended up with lighter sentence due to bottle necks in court processes.
“defilers are not treated the way they should be treated due to one reason or the other in the enforcement of the law.
“Life imprisonment is not even enough for them; anybody caught r*ping a child or woman should face the firing squad. It is the only way to safeguard and sanitise the society,” the lawmaker contended.
Ali attributed the increasing cases of r*pe in the country to negligence on the part of parents, urging them to take their parental responsibilities more seriously.[NAN]
