What to do with rapists

-

It was reported within the week that a 20 year-old-mechanic, Sunday Adeyemi and an 18 yearold furniture maker, Michael Jonathan, appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrate­s’ Court for allegedly gangraping a teenage girl after luring her. The prosecutio­n said they covered her mouth to prevent people from hearing her screams, tore her clothes and took turn on her. To me, if stiffer laws are made on this crime, it would stem the tide, and it is because the law seems to be lenient that people indulge in it. If I had my way, those clearly found guilty of this crime cannot escape castration or death penalty. Abigail Ochigbano, Gwagwalada, Abuja
