Hon Mohammed Gudaji Kazaure, a member representing Kazaure/Gwiwa/Roni/Yankwashi in the Federal House of Representatives, in 2021 suggested that anyone found guilty of rape should be castrated to serve as a deterrent to intending offenders.
In these video clips, Gudaje argued that a rapist should not be killed, but he must lose his penis to unable him repeat the same crime.

“Any man arrested for the case of rape should not be killed, but they should cut his prick so that he will not repeat the same to anyone,” he said.
Gudaji said one of the reasons rape cases are increasing is the lack of stiffer punishment for the culprits, believing that, the policy would positively work.
The comic member is one the most vibrant members of the house representative and currently chairs the House Standing Committee on political party matters.

Florence Ita-Giwa, former Nigerian Senator seconded Gudaje’s submission. She demanded a similar penalty seven years ago when her daughter was raped. She said the best way to end the scourge of sexual assault of minors is for the rapists to have their sexual organs cut off.
In 2021, a rapist had his penis and testicles cut off and fed to wild pigs in a revenge attack after he allegedly attempted to rape his 20-year-old niece in Brazil. In 2020, the Kaduna State government approved that where the victim is over the age of 14, the rapist will have his penis surgically castrated and be handed a life sentence. But where the victim is under 14, rapists will be executed.
Moreover, the law had it that women would have their fallopian tubes removed if they rape a child, and serve a life sentence for raping someone over 14.
