Senator Florence Ita-Giwa who was a special guest at a
fund raising exhibition for Mirabel Centre, held at the British Council
in Lagos last week, said that throwing child rapists into prison is not
enough justice. The Senator who represented Cross River in the Senate
said the best way is to cut off their genitals to ensure they do not use
them again on other children. In reference to accounts shared by two
rape survivors at the event, she said:
"The
lady said she was happy that she got justice for her four-year-old
daughter who was raped by two men but, in my mind, if I were a judge and
a man is brought to court for raping a child, he will receive capital
punishment. But I will say, 'don't kill him, rather llet him live his
life in pain, let his organ be cut off'. He should not be allowed the
pleasure of using that organ anymore. If the organ is not cut off, at
the end of his term in prison, he will use it on other children.
Fortunatel for them, I'm no longer in the Senate but I will find a way
to get it into the chamber. This is the proper way to end the evil of
rape in the society" she said. (Vanguard)
Yesterday,
April 23, Mrs Ita-Giwa shared two photos with the reports on her
private Instagram page, reiterating her stand on the issue.
"I
still stand on what I said,Anyone who is capable of this Act,should be
castrated. We need to start setting examples for a safer community, it
might be your daughter next,Let's fight this menace together. We have
to take a stand on this. Say no to rape and let's do what we can to stop
this menace in the society. #FIG #SERVICETOHUMANITY #SAYNOTORAPE
