Josephine Anenih, former Minister of Women Affairs has suggested "castration" as punishment for rapists. She said rapists should not only be given life jail sentences but be castrated, considering the gravity of the offence.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Anenih said,"The sanction for rape is too mild for the gravity of the offence. We are working on that to see whether we can amend the law on sanction for the crime. I will suggest something even more than life imprisonment. I will suggest castration.

She also called for diligence in proving and reporting rape,"Some people are saying proving rape is difficult. No, proving rape is not difficult, it’s just that we are not diligent in proving it. We must break that silence. We must shout, we must report and we must follow up on the report. When you report and the police tell you it is a family issue, you should say no and insist on taking the matter up in the court of law.

Eh? Rape cases'll need utmost professionalism, treatment and care if that penalty is to be adopted.

The question however is this: Can Nigeria afford that?

A vibrant young man shouldn't lose his most-prized member due to the unbalanced emotions of a confused lady.
