\n
Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Wednesday\u00a0signed into law the Kaduna State Penal Code (Amendment) Law 2020.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This law introduces stricter punishments for rapists than the previous law which carried a maximum penalty of 21 years imprisonment for the rape of an adult and life imprisonment for the rape of a child.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With Governor El-Rufai assenting to the amended law, it means the new law has taken effect in the state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The office Twitter handle of the Governor @GovKaduna Wednesday night reads:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cMalam Nasir @elrufai has signed the Kaduna State Penal Code (Amendment) Law 2020 which provides stiff penalties upon conviction for the rape of a child, including surgical castration for male convicts and bilateral salpingectomy for female convicts.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0A statement by the governor\u2019s Spokesperson,\u00a0Muyiwa Adekeye also disclosed that,\u00a0\u00a0the convicts will in addition, be listed in the Sex Offenders Register to be published by the Attorney-General of the state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said, \u201cFollowing Malam El-Rufai\u2019s assent to the amended law on 11th September 2020, the new law has come into effect in Kaduna State.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cUnder the amended law, the punishment for the rape of a person older than 14 years will include surgical castration or removal of fallopian tubes, but the death penalty shall not apply. In cases where the rape convict is also a child, the court shall order an appropriate punishment under the Children and Young Persons Law Cap 26, Laws of Kaduna State 1991.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Kaduna State Penal Code (Amendment) Law 2020 amends the Penal Code Law (No.5) of Kaduna State, 2017 by substituting section 258.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Governor while commending members of the state House of Assembly for passing the ammendments said, such drastic penalties are required to help protect children and put the menace on check.<\/div>\n
