Ramatu made the call in Abuja shortly after the distribution of palliative items to the leadership of FCT National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) FCT chapter and Nigeria Football Association of Coaches FCT chapter.

The Minister advocated that rapists should be castrated to serve as a deterrent to others.

According to her, the FCT Administration was working closely with security agencies and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP) to push for a serious institutional framework.

She noted that the framework would ensure justice is served, stressing that members of the community would be engaged in the battle against rape especially of minors.

The minister who described the rape of minors as heinous crime maintained that the death penalty was not the best of option for offenders.

She argued that when a society chooses to kill such offenders, they die and not remembering the crime they have committed against humanity.
