Oshiomhole Seeks Stiffer Penalties For Rapists-punch by ishowdotgmail(m): 4:02am On Jul 09, 2015 |
The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has called for stiffer penalties for persons convicted of rape, defilement and other forms of child abuse to serve as a deterrent to others. He also urged the people of the state to stop giving alms to child beggars to discourage the rising trend of child beggars in the state. Oshiomhole, who spoke when he received members of the state chapter of International Federation of Women Lawyers who paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House, decried the rising cases of the menace in the state and the country which he described as “heinous crimes” that must be prosecuted diligently. He said, “We have discussed this, time and again at our Executive Council meetings. And at a point, we asked the Attorney-General to review the laws such that the number of years a convict gets will commensurate with the severe nature of rape and defilement. “We are concerned; we have discussed this and we have a feeling that the number of reported cases are on the increase. We also know that, because of the nature of our environment, there will be several others that may not even be reported at all. “When you look at the sheer number of rape cases that are recorded, it is clear that across the country both rape and defilement cases are increasing. Therefore, this calls for tougher measures on the part of those strengthening the law and providing for stiffer and harsher punishments than what is currently obtained and to also ensure that the few cases that are reported are properly prosecuted with a view to securing conviction.” The governor, however, noted that the state had recorded a high level of success in the fight against kidnapping and reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that kidnappers were completely put out of business in the state. He also said that the state government was taking steps to discourage street begging. “I have directed the Commissioner for Women Affair to take firm measures to bring this incidence to an end; Edo cannot be a haven for beggars. We recognise the economic challenges but begging is not and will not be the solution and exposing children to begging is unhealthy. “I will even appeal to Edo people not to give alms to child beggars because it doesn’t help as women and their fathers push these children to the street. They use them in the manner they do, hoping they will attract pity. The more pity we show to those kids, the more they are subjected to these dehumanising practices,” Oshiomhole added. Earlier, the Chairperson of FIDA, Mrs. Stella Ojemen, said the organisation would continue to speak and protect women and children who suffer humiliation due the the violence meted out to them by the perpetrators. Ojemen said, “Our duties are simple – to ensure that women and children who are confronted with all kinds of issues are protected. We are disturbed by the incidence of child labour and trafficking of women in the state and with the plight of widows who are being disturbed by the families of the husband. “We are also worried about the maltreatment of women and children in crisis zones and we are really disturbed by all of these issues.” http://www.punchng.com/news/oshiomhole-seeks-stiffer-penalties-for-rapists/ Cc:Lalasticlala 3 Likes |

A rapist should be treated as a murderer and both are supposed to have similar penalties....... But one of the major worries is that our constitution as it is, at the moment; is so porous. 2 Likes |

I like to ask "are you enjoying it?" as I go back and forth. That enjoyment on the face makes me think I'm doing a good job, what's the freakin point of shaggin somebody that would stab you if they could and hearing actual cries or screams and not pleasurable moaning and screams. 2 Likes |

Personally I believe rapists should be executed. I see no reason why a man will jump on a woman and take her by force, I see no reason at all. Rapists are executed in Egypt and they have the lowest number of rape cases in the world (statistics below). Rapists are executed in Egypt and they are killed without delay, I suggest we adopt such approach in Nigeria. These useless men/boys that go about raping women are a great threat to society and should not be allowed to live. I say execute these beasts from the pits of hell and save our women! # COUNTRY AMOUNT DATE GRAPH HISTORY 1 Lesotho 0.844 per 1,000 people 2008 2 New Zealand 0.315 per 1,000 people 2008 3 Belgium 0.299 per 1,000 people 2008 4 Iceland 0.286 per 1,000 people 2008 5 Norway 0.203 per 1,000 people 2008 6 Israel 0.166 per 1,000 people 2009 7 Finland 0.141 per 1,000 people 2008 8 Chile 0.12 per 1,000 people 2008 9 Mongolia 0.118 per 1,000 people 2008 10 Ireland 0.102 per 1,000 people 2008 11 Kazakhstan 0.099 per 1,000 people 2008 12 Estonia 0.093 per 1,000 people 2008 13 Luxembourg 0.091 per 1,000 people 2008 14 Denmark 0.09 per 1,000 people 2008 15 Germany 0.089 per 1,000 people 2009 16 Argentina 0.081 per 1,000 people 2008 17 Czech Republic 0.062 per 1,000 people 2008 18 Mauritius 0.06 per 1,000 people 2008 =19 Lithuania 0.056 per 1,000 people 2008 =19 Kyrgyzstan 0.056 per 1,000 people 2008 21 Moldova 0.053 per 1,000 people 2008 22 Russia 0.05 per 1,000 people 2008 23 Slovenia 0.048 per 1,000 people 2008 =24 Hungary 0.047 per 1,000 people 2008 =24 Romania 0.047 per 1,000 people 2008 =24 Poland 0.047 per 1,000 people 2008 27 Latvia 0.041 per 1,000 people 2008 28 Oman 0.04 per 1,000 people 2008 29 Croatia 0.036 per 1,000 people 2008 =30 Morocco 0.035 per 1,000 people 2008 =30 Belarus 0.035 per 1,000 people 2008 32 Slovakia 0.033 per 1,000 people 2008 33 Bulgaria 0.031 per 1,000 people 2008 =34 Liechtenstein 0.029 per 1,000 people 2008 =34 Portugal 0.029 per 1,000 people 2008 =34 Bahrain 0.029 per 1,000 people 2008 =37 Malta 0.025 per 1,000 people 2008 =37 Philippines 0.025 per 1,000 people 2008 =39 Cameroon 0.024 per 1,000 people 2008 =39 Cyprus 0.024 per 1,000 people 2008 41 Sierra Leone 0.021 per 1,000 people 2008 42 Greece 0.02 per 1,000 people 2008 43 Kenya 0.019 per 1,000 people 2009 44 Canada 0.016 per 1,000 people 2008 45 Japan 0.014 per 1,000 people 2008 46 Maldives 0.013 per 1,000 people 2008 47 Guinea 0.009 per 1,000 people 2008 48 Azerbaijan 0.004 per 1,000 people 2008 49 Armenia 0.003 per 1,000 people 2008 50 Egypt 0.001 per 1,000 people 2008 http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Rapes/Per-capita 1 Like |

Minion: Your Evilness! The Nigerians... they seek stiffer punishments for rapists, something tougher, something eviler, something more rewarding. Hades: Something Eviler?! What do they want?! I would go for chemical castration. They should take out the genitals before sending them down here, I fear for my female demons, my succubus. But on deeper thought, I think there's something deeply wrong in a society that is more willing to castrate homosexuals than they are rapists. Minion: Your darkness! I am lost. Redmosquito: For those who do not get me, I have witnessed the treatment meted out to homosexuals and the treatment meted out to rapists, and I feel something wrong with our society, I feel it in my bones. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
