Are you one of those that make false rape allegations? He is very right. False accusers should get same sentence as rapists. ChyChy17: 8 Likes |

Death penalty is too harsh. Sometimes this issue is not clear cut. There should be exceptions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The death penalty is too much. In practical terms a death sentence usually becomes life imprisonment anyway because the state hardly executes people anymore. The current punishment for rape is life imprisonment and it's severe enough. Murder/homicide and armed robbery, two offences which carry the death sentence, are still endemic in our society despite the gravity of their punishment. Let me assure you that the State does not hesitate to prosecute these offences. The issue is with the assumption that the death penalty is as effective a deterrent as law makers think it is. The case of armed robbery in particular which didn't carry the death sentence until 29th March 1984 when the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Edict was passed introducing the death sentence due to the menace of armed robbery at the time provides evidence on the deterrence value of the death penalty. We can see that the offence has remained a menace till date despite the introduction of the death penalty. The death penalty is usually reserved for offences that involve the taking of human lives. Suggesting the death penalty for rape, which is a terrible offence but rarely results in loss of life, is simply another instance of our lawmakers coming up with unimaginative and ineffective solutions to problems. They are using the gravity and wow factor of the death penalty to give weight to what would've otherwise been an empty deliberation. It is just pandering to public sentiment on rape and not an attempt to actually curb the menace. Actual solutions should involve public sensitization, establishment of trauma centres to obtain the evidence of rape and treat the victims, creation of sexual offender registries and introduction of measures like chemical castration particularly for the paedophiles and repeat offenders. Rape is already a capital offence. Changing the punishment from life imprisonment to death in an environment where convicts on death row are hardly executed and other offences which carry the death penalty are still rampant despite it is not the way forward. 5 Likes 1 Share |

As far as I am concern, the bill seeking death sentence for rapists is unnecessary. First, most of these victims don't speak up immediately, how then do we know the veracity of their claims? The point is that this would encourage more politically and financially motivated blackmails. Second, our policing is bad, and this will lead to unverified harassment and victimization. Thirdly, our judicial system is as good as dead. The rate of killings on false claims of rape will soar whereas the victims mostly innocent sufferers. Let's follow advanced nations like America, where there are serious sanctions, but not death. Meanwhile, our Stealators should also focus on the massive corruption, looting and poverty ravaging the country which have turned responsible citizens to savages. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Kingosytex: The senate is very stupid and only playing to the gallery or on people’s sentiments and the trending issues to garner attention. There is no reason for death penalty for rape unless those that murder their victims or maybe rape babies or a serial rapist. That is an unfair and unreasonable punishment. The sentence is what can be made lengthy. Why don’t do they legislate death penalty for corrupt leaders in government? Like in China. 6 Likes |

Xisnin: I really find it laughable, I don't think people who mention false rape accusations know how many people who are convicted of rape in Nigeria alone. You can't compare false rape accusations to real rape cases. Each day there's a case of rape involving a minor but somehow false rape accusations which aren't even that much should be the focus. |

ChyChy17:does he need to be a rapist to support the right thing? it's even a stupid idea to suggest deatth penalty for an offense that isn't related to killing anybody. it's not done anywhere. What should be done is increasing the sentence for convicted rapists. Also same punishment should for false rape accusations, otherwise it'll be used to destroy many people. 3 Likes |
Re: Rape: Nigeria Senate Seeks Death Penalty For Rapists by janettee(f): 7:21am On Jul 10, 2019 |
I really welcome this idea especially for those who rape minors . But the existing rape laws don't even do anything to deter rapists. |

Re: Rape: Nigeria Senate Seeks Death Penalty For Rapists by Holak: 7:23am On Jul 10, 2019 |
This is just grandstanding by Senate and not addressing the real issue. How many people are convicted of rape? They should be concerned about reviewing out our judicial and investigation system. Not putting unrealistic laws in place. Today governor's don't sign death sentence for known criminals not to talk of rape cnvicts. Let's even convict the rapists and punish them with the existing laws first. Misplaced priority 1 Like |

the false alarm won't allow it to be a reality. in a country that her citizens are morally biased, sentimental and full of hypocrisy adopting death for rapist would claimed a lot of innocent people life's I think 5years imprisonment should be given for adult rape while 15years should be given for child sexual abuse after concrete evidence 2 Likes 1 Share |
