No More Bail For Rapists. We Are Considering Castration As Punishment – El-Rufai
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, says the justice system of the state will no longer grant bail to rapists.
El-Rufai disclosed this when a group of women, advocating for justice for rape victims, staged a peaceful rally at the government house in Kaduna, on Monday.
The governor, who noted that the state already has strong legislation against rape, added that his government is already considering an amendment to the law to include the castration of persons convicted of the crime.
“I am happy that our chief judge has decided to take that very seriously,” el-Rufai said.
“We are also working on that and we know that this epidemic of rape and issues related to rape will be a thing of the past.
“It is 21 years for rape of an adult and life imprisonment for the rape (defilement) of a child.
“In addition to life imprisonment or 21 years’ imprisonment, anyone convicted of rape will have his organ surgically removed so that even after he finishes his term, he will not be able to rape anyone again.
“So long as the tool exists, there is the likelihood that he may go back to do it again.
“Most of the perpetrators are young people, so even after 21 years, they can come back and continue.”
He added that a member of the state house of assembly had already drafted a bill proposing the castration, and promised that the government would look into it.
“This measure is necessary as most cases of rape fail to get convicted because the witnesses disappear or their parents and the communities cover up due to the stigma surrounding rape,” he said.
“We have made it clear that we will protect the faces and identities of the victims and survivors of rape.
“So, there is no problem testifying in court. You will testify behind the screen, so nobody will know who you are or your face.”
The governor called on parents to instill morals in their children and give women the rights and the respect they deserve, NAN reported.
Saratu Abdulaziz, spokesperson of the group, said they were at the government house to seek the governor’s support on ending the incessant cases of rape in the state.
Abdulaziz expressed sadness over the rise in rape cases, saying it posed a serious danger to society.
“People cover up rape cases, which is not good for us. We are, therefore, calling on all victims to always voice out so that they can get the justice they deserve,” she said.
They, however, called for stiffer penalties against persons found guilty of the crime.

EeZee Tee Refutes Apostle Anselm Madubuko’s Claims, Reaffirms Transparency and Catalogue Ownership
The label emphasized that the artists are entitled only to royalties from the catalogue, which have been transparently accounted for.
“No funds were diverted by EeZee Conceptz. This entire campaign against the EeZee Tee is an orchestrated attempt to forcefully claim ownership of the music catalogue we fully funded and produced. This is a clear violation of the contract terms that both parties agreed to,” the statement added.
“Contrary to the Apostle’s claims, I personally called him several times, sent messages, and even visited his house twice in an effort to reschedule the meeting for appointing new auditors. He assured me he would revert, but to date, I have received no response,” said EeZee Tee, CEO of EeZee Conceptz.
The label further revealed that it endured undue hardship during the dispute, including the nine-day detention of its CEO in Ilorin, during which all personal and corporate accounts were frozen.
However, after extensive investigations into its books, no evidence of financial misconduct was found.
“Despite the ordeal I faced, including losing access to my family and business operations during my detention, our records were thoroughly investigated, and no wrongdoing was discovered. This is a testament to the transparency and integrity with which EeZee Conceptz operates,” the EeZee Tee stated.
EeZee Conceptz expressed disappointment in what it described as Apostle Madubuko’s biased handling of the mediation process.
“When men of God are entrusted with resolving conflicts, they must approach the matter with fairness, impartiality, and a commitment to truth.
The label cited examples from the first mediation meeting, where it raised issues of one of the artists boycotting scheduled events and diverting funds to personal accounts in breach of her contract. According to EeZee Conceptz, the Apostle failed to address these breaches, further questioning the neutrality of the process.
Despite the ongoing challenges, EeZee Conceptz reiterated its commitment to fairness, integrity, and adherence to contractual agreements.
Background
The dispute between EeZee Conceptz and Mercy Chinwo has gained significant public attention, centered around claims of unpaid royalties, fund diversion, and disagreements over the ownership of master rights.
The dispute has seen several failed mediation attempts, including multiple sessions where the focus shifted to the demand for master rights. EeZee Conceptz has maintained that it owns the catalogue in perpetuity and is only obligated to pay royalties to the artist under the terms of their agreement.
