STUPID SENATE...

DEATH PENALTY FOR KIDNAPPERS, TERRORIST, CORRUPTION.

Same death penalty should be enacted for politicians that loots our common wealth.

Are you one of those that make false rape allegations?

He is very right. False accusers should get same sentence as rapists.

ChyChy17:
Are youva rapist? Just asking......

Death penalty is too harsh. Sometimes this issue is not clear cut. There should be exceptions.

It's always confusing, men & guys that boast of females being outnumbered males, we do goof about 1man to 4 women axiom yet so many men/guys involving into rape crime everyday.

I still don't get the correlation.

Not good. It's too drastic, so many innocent people get accused wrongly, so they'll die too? Women will start killing off every man in their broken relationships now

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.

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.

Senators are obsessed with canal matters when kidnappers are jumping bail

Nice One from the senators!!!


All the senators spoke very well. Death penalty for rapists isn't a bad idea, but i was also expecting them to say something about those who claim FALSE RAPE

If rapists are to be sentenced, then those who raise false rape allegations should also be KILLED

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.

The Senate on Wednesday expressed worry over the increasing incidences of rape of women and defilement of minors in parts of the country.

Senators resolved that application of death penalty to offenders would go a long way to serve as a deterrent to the menace.

Apart from death penalty for rape offenders, the lawmakers also underscored the necessity to review relevant laws as well as open registers for rape offenders in parts of the country.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion on increasing cases of rape, sponsored by Senator Rose Oko.

The Cross River North Senator, asked the Senate to take the lead by reviewing existing laws to discourage the trend.

Oko called attention to several alleged rape cases, including the one allegedly by the Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The worrisome trend of rape cases, she said, has become a national problem that should worry the Senate.

Senator George Thompson Sekibo, in his contribution noted that prescribing death penalty for offenders, would not only serve as deterrent but would also ensure that justice is served.

Sekibo encouraged parents to report rape cases as soon as they occur to enable relevant security agencies take the appropriate steps to apprehend the culprits.

He said: “When an abuse of such a situation takes place, let the parents report the issue to the police or you come to the Senate.

“I leant that when a rape case takes place, the private part should not be washed. They should go to the hospital and take the sample.

“To abuse a child of six months, is evil. No religion will take it. We should make it a death penalty. By the time you kill two people, people would have leant and they will stop it.”

Senator Dino Melaye agreed that drastic measures should be taken against rapists.

The Kogi West Senator noted that if stiffer penalty is prescribed, people will stop the act.

Melaye said: “This issue is not only satanic, it is also wicked. This is one of the satanic manifestations in the country. If we don’t propose stiffer punishment, people will continue to get away with it.

“When you report a case to the police, they treat it as if it is ordinary. Lecturers carry out sex for marks. I want to encourage the sponsor of this motion to go ahead and come up with amendments to deal with this barbaric act.

“There are now cases of male adults defiling small boys. These things must be cured and the Senate must take the lead in ensuring that this doesn’t continue in this country.”

Senator Oluremi Tinubu in her contribution also backed the death penalty proposal.

The Lagos Central lawmaker who was alarmed about increasing rate of the defilement of minors urged parents to take steps to educate their children on sexual awareness.

She said, “The issue is very controversial and scary. As a mother, if our children were the ones violated, we know what would have happened. If we look at the society at large, we have not done anything.

“Children are the most vulnerable group. Whoever is involved in acts like this, should face death. I think rape of a minor deserves a death sentence. This is what we need to do to stop this madness.

“Most of these acts are done by people close to these minors. This is time we stepped in as a Senate and protect this country

“Parents too should be given the orientation too on now to raise their children. Poverty is a major cause of this and we need to educate the parents to reduce this.”

Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi also urged relevant agencies to establish a sex register for offenders.

The Niger North Senator said that opening a register for sex offenders would go a long way to discourage the act.

He said: “When these offences are committed, what happens? The lack of stiffer punishment is a major issue we must look at. From examples cited, we must make progress. It is time for us to look at our laws and put sex or rape offenders on a register anywhere in the country.

“The psychological effects can’t be understood. Some adults behaving in certain manners are victims of these acts when they were minors.”

Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, prayed the Senate to look at sentencing guidelines.

Omo-Agege said, “The challenges articulated are very apt. We have enough laws to deal with the issues. The area we should look at is sentencing guidelines. There should be a minimum sentencing timeline, it will help.

“We need to look at the status regulating the prerogative of mercy. We have governors and state chief judges setting free prisoners. I believe we should focus on these areas. We should have the sex offenders register.”

The lawmakers generally agreed that urgent steps should be taken to save the country from rapists.

They also agreed that when constituted, the Senate committee on Judiciary, Police and others related, will push for the implementation of extant laws on rape of women and defilement of minors.

The relevant Senate committees, when constituted, were asked to review relevant legislations on rape.

The Senate further urged the Police to deal decisively with all cases of sexual abuse as a way to stem the tide.

The upper chamber was also worried that only 26, out of 36 states of the federation have so far domesticated the Child Rights Act.......Continue reading: https://www.newsvib.com/2019/07/rape-nigeria-senate-seeks-death-penalty-for-rapists.html

And those that steals money?

PLEASE OP, CHANGE YOUR TOPIC TO THIS:

Nigerian masses seeks death penalty on politicians who loot the country

Xisnin:
Who are those who raise false allegations?
How do you know it is false allegation?
How many people are convicted of rape each year?

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.

They should not only advocate for death penalty on rape cases alone looters of the country treasury (commonwealth of the masses) should equally and by way of justice, face death the penalty as well.

Are youva rapist? Just asking......

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.

I really welcome this idea especially for those who rape minors .

But the existing rape laws don't even do anything to deter rapists.

How many people have been accused of rape in Nigeria?.
How many girls and women are raped daily in Nigeria?.
How many rapists have been convicted of rape since Nigeria started existing?.

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

Nigeria na movie...those who rape a whole nation of its common wealth, those who loot as much as they can thereby raping young people their future. Bunch of corrupt individuals that hold the country down because of their selfish interests, those who themselves commit crimes against humanity wants death sentence for those who commit crime againt an individual

Hope they will also pass death penalty on looters too?

ChyChy17:

Why do you have a problem with killing false rape accusers?

Any natural born low IQ woman can come out and scream rape at a guy she doesn't like. Most women are heartless wicked devils like that.

They equally deserve to go meet their maker, the devil. Wouldn't you agree?

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

Including looters of public fund
