Breaking: Reps move against castration as punishment for rapists

The House of Representatives has moved against a prayer seeking to castrate rapists.

A member, Rep. James Faleke (APC-Lagos), sponsored the prayer, recommended that persons found guilty of rape should be castrated.

The House, at the plenary on Thursday, considered and adopted a motion on the rising cases of sexual violence in Nigeria.

Just before the prayer was subjected to a voice vote, the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, however, asked what would happen to an older female who rapes a younger male.

The comment generated noise in the chamber, putting the prayer to vote, and the nays had it.
