Rapists To Face Life Imprisonment Under New Law – Reps by Tolexander: 6:49pm On Feb 07, 2013 |
ABUJA - Chairman, House Committee on Human Rights, Hon. Beni Lar, said, Wednesday, that rapists would face life imprisonment once the current Violence Against Persons Bill becomes law. Lar, who made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Abuja, said the National Assembly had decided to expedite action on the passage of the bill, considering the increasing prevalence of rape in the country. She pointed out that the bill would not only protect rape victims but equally provide protection for victims of violence including physical, sexual, psychological, domestic, harmful traditional practices and discrimination. She said: "My only concern is that in our laws today, the punishment for rape is very light and that is why you find people committing rape against children. It's unfortunate. "It is because of issues like this that it has come to the attention of the National Assembly that we have the Violence Against Persons Bill. "It is a bill that seeks to eliminate violence in private and public life, to prohibit all forms of violence including physical, sexual, psychological, domestic, harmful traditional practices, discrimination against persons and provide maximum protection and effective remedies for victims and punishment for offenders. "Part one of this bill, which has passed second reading in the House, defines a rapist as one who intentionally violates another person and the conviction for this offence is life imprisonment. "The National Assembly is seeking to stiffen punishment for rape because the punishment has been so light. People feel they can do it easily and get away with it but once this bill is passed you would think twice before committing rape because they can go to jail for life." http://odili.net/news/source/2013/feb/7/305.html |

Then the crime should be refined and defined so as to prevent confusion. Girls can be desperate and evil if they cant get what they want. Still waiting for the time when the bill againist corruption would be done and also antiimmunity clause against the serving leader by the house of representative. 1 Like |

Another tool for extortion if not properly managed. With the level of our criminal justice system where even the law enforcement agents can disturt facts with a little inducement, men are in for a hard time. Ladies, it is time to get back at those men who won't pay up. |

life imprisonment or death sentence - it makes no difference..... nigeria is the worst country for anyone to be a woman - to prove räpe actually happened in nigeria is more difficult than climbing mount everest. who are they fooling? a country where there are no trained officers to speak directly with the victims, a country where if the victim does not go to the station with torn clothes and semën dripping from her private part, her story would be ignored. rubbish! 1 Like |

So these clueless law makers want to deal with d nigerian youngboys to propably murder that phrase " leaders of tomorrow". Can u imagin wat girls and the NPF will do to guys if this bill is passed. All she need to say when u guys are in d act is baby harder n faster b4 u knw u are a rape culprit. Rape is bad o infact perpetrators should be really punished but Govt shouldn't create an office at of it. |
