Justice Nyesom-Wike advocates amputation of people found guilty of defiling minors
Former First Lady of Rivers State and a judge of the Rivers State High Court, Eberechi Nyesom-Wike, has advocated the amputation of people found guilty of defiling minors.
Justice Wike, who is the wife of the immediate past Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, stated this on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 2nd National Conference of Family Court Judges, Magistrates, and other Family Court Practitioners in Port Harcourt.
She insisted that the current punishment isn’t drastic enough, adding that the move will deter sexual offenders from molesting minors.
According to the judge, society should step up punishments for people who defile children beyond life imprisonment or a 14-year jail term.
I think men will take it more seriously when you come up with such legislation. I hope a man in the House of Reps or Senate sponsors a bill like that.”
