The law stipulated that anyone found to have had the carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 10, will be sentenced to death.

The Commissioner of Justice in Jigawa State, Dr Musa Adamu, the VOA Hausa has reportedly made the announcement at a press conference in Dutse.

He told journalists that anyone found guilty of the offence would face the wrath of the law without option or favour.

The state Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru had earlier last year, assented to the law for prohibiting such molestation and violation which encompasses the death penalty on rapists and life sentences on those who rape a girl below the age of 10.
