The Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, has advocated death penalty for rape and related offences.
Tallen said this during the flag-off of the National Cooking Gas and Tree Planting project held in Girei town, headquarter of Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The minister also advocated stiff penalties for child labour offences and other dehumanising treatment against children.
The call came days after the Kaduna House of Assembly approved a law to castrate rapists.
The minister said the project was inspired by President Muhammadu Buhari in providing dividends of democracy to Nigerian indigent rural women and girls.
Tallen said that according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), emission from cooking stoves killed about 4.3 million people annually through air pollution.
