Rape cases have recently skyrocketed in Nigeria and it is time for all good people to be concerned. Hardly a day passes by without a thread or two created on Nairaland about rape. The National Assembly recently passed a bill stipulating a long prison sentence for convicted rapists but the animals in human skin moving around as men have not been deterred in their drive to traumatise our women and even children.

I think we need a stiffer penalty for rape. In 2008, Egypt recorded the lowest number of rapes and it is common knowledge that convicted rapists are executed in Egypt.

I hereby recommend either of these penalties for rape:

(1) DEATH PENALTY.

Where it is established beyond all reasonable doubts that rape has been committed, the culprit should be executed without delay. I suggest the Indonesian style execution where the culprit is made to face a firing squad of about 12 soldiers. Hanging or death by electric chair is also acceptable.

(2) CASTRATION.

Some people will argue that point (1) above is too harsh especially those against the death penalty so I have come up with solution (2). When an armed robber is caught, his weapon of terror i.e. his gun is taken away from him, in the same way, when a rapist is caught, his weapon of terror should be taken away from him i.e his manhood. Take away the rod of the rapist and our women will be safe.

The floor is open for intelligent contributions. personally, any of these options would suffice as penalty for convicted rapists.

Death by hanging is the best option...

That is very okay by me. Personally I prefer the death penalty for rapists.

Hmmmm

Engage modified moses law

Anyone who rapes anyone , should be thrown in a prison with sex hungry animals and raped to death

Lalasticlala & Ishilove, Please can we have the views of more Nigerians on this?

Thank you
