The same should go corrupt public office holders

GREAT!!!

Once caught let them be castrated, and I tell you once one gets it the others will learn from him.

Catching the perverts in more important. What if your police force do a lousy job? If u like put the death penalty, all that work is for nothing if your police force dont work..Get the police to do their jobs effectively.

Start with Kogi commissioner

They should also look at child marriage issues, to me that worse than rape,

Please, just as the Senate seeks stiffer punishments for offenders, they should please seek the same for false accusations too.. It makes things balance..

And that kogi state commissioner should be punished too. I rest my case

Lets hope the definition of rape is expanded to include those who marry and have sex with minor children under the age of 18

They should start from the rapist commissioner from Kogi state

Life sentence to work as janitors for female inmates. Seems fair but death is way easy.

Death sentence is the solution. They should be sentence to death by electrocution🔌

The thing that causes them to sin, should be cut off. Ki won pawon saaye.

Now, this is what I'm talking about!

False accusations should be considered too...

Death penalty will make them keep their dick inside no matter the hard drugs them take

Order your face masks and stay safe. 08183758688.

Don't forget to include money laundering and corruption

They can start with the age of consent

Only a stiffer punishment like castration should be considered.

Can this bill be passed by the NGRSenate ?

Good o. While doing that, they should remember to add stiffer punishment for looters aswell.

The death of Vera veraomozuwa is really saddening. It’s time we stopped believing a longer jail term or even death sentence will deter a rapist or a kidnapper.The best deterrent is punishment that is certain when a crime is committed.If the justice system..

Rapist and looters should face thesame punishment

They should make false accusation punishment more stiffer like death penalty it will now instill fear into false accusers

Kasala go burst real soon.

So how many years will Buhari Bag after raping Nig aground.

Death penalty for rapist!!!!!! Death penalty for false accusations!!!!!!

This our senate sef, full of scammers.....which one is stiffer punishment, or is to flog them cane they're talking about

Stifer punishment or even better castration and life imprisonment after due diligence and confirmation. There should be punishment for false accusation as well. For the once who defile children, the punishment should be death no and their bodies donated to teaching hospital

Lol. They think rape is when a man and woman struggle. The man overpowers the woman and pins her down. Over half of them might have done it with house help because she did not struggle doesn't mean it wasnt rape. What about using sedatives? Your friends will call you correct guy

Never look up to them ones in the NASS....aren't they the same ones that lined up to support the sex toy-gate NASS member? Abeg, make we hear word!

Car: Toyota Venza 2012. Price : N3.3M Condition : Neatly used in perfect condition Location : Abuja Call/Dm : 07060907308

Is long over! Our political leaders should be proactive. You don't have to wait until an irreparable loss occurs before you do the needful.

Anybody been caught should be kill now, if truly the so called raped has evidence of rape and she had never in anyway dress unkept, should be kill without delay pls my honourable senate ....

What of their colleague that violated a girl in a shop some months back,he wants to contribute to the law too?... Hahahahah, na real zoo be this

Ope o!

Capital punishment would be proper

In as much as I clamour for say no to rape..hope there will be punishment for false rape allegations

Capital punishment

It should be a very stiff penalty to make others desist from it

Death sentence o! Death sentence

The penalty should be death

Pray nd wish its death punishment.

Stiffer Penalties without vigorous enforcement is useless. Don't give us temporary and vacuous satisfaction by reading out 'death sentence!' 'Castration!'. What we want is to see the rapist actually suffer the existing punishments. As many of them as we can catch.

Capital punishment is OK for a rape What will be the punishment for false accusations?

Prosecution is the main problem not duration of sentence. I’d rather they make laws that simplify prosecution processes, making conviction of rapists easier.

Really! Has punishment been meted on the Kogi State senator who assaulted a lady over social media comment.

No week passed without atleast one or two reported cases of rape in Nigeria dailies. Why are our lawmakers turned deaf ears on this since? or is it because none of their families has ever been a victim? If there had been a stiffer punishment since, this act should have reduced.

Kill dem that all

That's what we are experiencing here into his our country, so I believe the actions the senators are trying to embark on is a welcome development

Some offenders re inside that house, but are somehow above the law.

Death by hanging is fair 💯

Very good and they should seek better punishment for looters.

Our voices are been heard

They should be castrated.

Death penalty without delay period 🙄

JusticeForUwa It is babaric,outrageous & dehumanizing,it must be discouraged.Ladies always follow your instinct,it speaks to your subsconsciousness. Follow me to get more... This part of the VC's statement was unnecessary as it 'seems' to pass a subtle message that victims of the crime of rape or any other crime, are to blame based on where they go or the company they keep. While this might not be the intention of the message, it's an interpretation.
