A judge of the Rivers State High Court, Justice Eberechi Wike has advocated for a more stringent punishment for persons guilty of defiling minors.
Justice Wike made the call during the 2nd National Conference of Family Court Judges, Magistrates, and other Family Court Practitioners held in Port Harcourt.
The judge said that any part of the body used in carrying out the devious act should be amputated.
She stated that the amputation of sex offenders found guilty of defiling minors will deter others from doing such evil.
“We should do much more. I think we should do something that will be really drastic, that will make them think twice before they do that.

“I cannot think of anything better than having legislation that whatever it is that whatever part of your body you use on a child while defiling the child, that part should be cut off. If it is your finger, if it is your mouth, if it is your private part.
“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,” Justice Wike said.
