Reacting to accounts of rape by two survivors at the event, the senator said: “The lady said she was happy that she got justice for her four-year-old daughter who was raped by two men but, in my mind, if I were a judge and a man is brought to court for raping a child, he will receive capital punishment. But I will say, don’t kill him, rather let him live his life in pain, let his organ be cut off.
“He should not be allowed the pleasure of using that organ anymore. If the organ is not cut off, at the end of his term in prison, he will use it on other children. Fortunately for them, I’m no longer in the Senate but I will find a way to get it into the chamber. This is the proper way to end the evil of rape in the society”.
Also speaking, the managing partner at Partnership for Justice and Founder Mirabel Centre, Mrs Itoro Eze-Anaba, said that the situation had reached a stage that girls are no longer safe in their homes since fathers and uncles rape them.
“Rape is not a girls’ or women’s issue, it is a community issue because boys are also being raped daily. The implication is that if we do not end it, the abused may end up as an abuser and a time will come when the society will be filled with abusers,” she said.
Meanwhile, Ita-Giwa, has faulted the allegations made by retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Christopher Omeben, suggesting that her late husband, Dele Giwa, endangered his own life by continuing to relate with her after their separation.
Ita-Giwa who extolled the virtues of the late founder of Newswatch, wondered why the octogenarian would speak ill of a dead man that he once claimed he never knew or heard about in his previous interviews.
She noted that Mr Giwa was career driven and too pre-occupied with his profession to womanize and that because he cherished family values, he decided to remarry rather than womanize as alleged by Mr Omeben.

Premium Times reports that the former senator also reiterated that from the time she separated from Mr Giwa, when they occupied a bungalow provided for him as official residence by the Concord newspaper, she never knew where he moved to until after he was assassinated neither did she know the location of Newswatch because she had moved on.
She insisted that the separation was amicable and was borne out of the fact that both of them were ambitious and career driven individuals and could not continue the relationship.
