Hafsat who spoke yesterday on a local radio station (Nass FM) monitored live programme in Hausa called ‘Duniyan Mata’ disclosed that the law will not allow any convicted rapist to contest for elections or get employed in the state’s civil service.
“A reference book with all records of rape offenders will be referred to whenever someone applies for a job or wants to participate in politics by criminal justice penal code of the state,” she said.
The legal luminary added that the new law signed recently also recommended the death penalty for any rapist who has been found guilty and convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
“Life imprisonment will be given to perpetrators of a gang rape and a one-man rape will bag a minimum of 20 years jail term, “ she stated.
Hafsat, who commended Fintiri for taking the bold step to end the menace of gender-based violence in the state, urged the governor to continue with his human friendly policies.
She called on parents and guardians to always ensure that they entrust their children or wards in the hands of honest and God-fearing people to ensure that they are safe.
