In Nigeria, convicted rapists can now be punished with surgical castration! The law applies in Kaduna (1.6 million inhabitants), the largest state in the African country.
Anyone who assaults children under the age of 14 will have their testicles removed after a conviction. In addition, the death penalty may be imposed.
Victims over the age of 14 also threaten the aggressor with castration. And also life imprisonment. Women who assault children are also punished.
If convicted, the female perpetrators face removal of their fallopian tubes, said state Governor Nasir el-Rufai (60). As with men, other possible punishments are: jail or death.
► In addition, there is a registry in the state of Nigeria that registers ALL sex offenders who have committed crimes against children. Their names must be published in the media.

These “drastic penalties are necessary to better protect children from serious crimes,” the governor said.
Sexual violence has increased significantly in recent months in Nigeria, West Africa. According to a UN report in May, reports of sexual violence increased after crown curfews were imposed in all states. In some cases up to almost 60 percent in two weeks!
Several brutal rapes caused a public stir in Kaduna in June and July. In June, all 36 states declared a state of emergency due to the increase in sexual violence.
There are even more countries around the world that depend on the castration of child molesters. In Poland, Macedonia, Indonesia and the US state of Alabama, for example, sex offenders are chemically castrated after serving prison terms. Means: with hormonal therapy. In Nigeria, on the other hand, castration is a surgical procedure.
