I assure you that we will start the implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAreas where we find out that the punishments are not adequate the way Kaduna did, we will amend it to include those aspects so that castration will also be part of our own (VAPP law).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I think we better destroy the instrument of r*pe by going for castration because even when I pardon somebody, I discovered that he was a serial rapist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minister, speaking earlier, had referred to r*pe as deadly as murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The governor at the meeting also spoke on the issue of Child Rights Act, noting that there were provisions in the act that run contrary to some traditional perceptions. He pointed at the issues of early and child marriage as such provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He, nonetheless, assured that the state government would soon set up an executive committee made up of Ulamas and clergymen to look into issues of child and early marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed has assured that his government would, like Kaduna State did, amend the state r*pe law to include castration.
