Kano State House of Assembly has commenced moves to provide for castration as a punishment for the offence of rape in the state.

This followed a motion initiated on Wednesday by Hon. Nuraddeen Alhassan, which sought to amend item 12 of the state’s Penal Code amendment ( 2014)

Alhasan urged the House to recall the extant law and amend it to provide castration punishment for rapists, saying that it is the only measure that could halt the rampant cases of rape in the society.

“I also want to appeal to the house to look into the security issues, so as to strengthen their efforts in tackling rape cases in the state,” he appealed.
