Former Senator and civil rights activist Shehu Sani has condemned the increasing incidents of manhood cutting among couples in Nigeria. In an interview with the Daily Post, Sani called for the enactment of stringent laws to address this violent trend. His remarks were in response to a recent incident where a housewife in Kaduna cut her husband's manhood.
Sani expressed deep concern
over the rise in such violent acts, emphasizing the need for legal protection
for men against domestic violence. "The woman who cut her husband's
manhood in Kaduna has committed a serious crime," Sani stated. "The
rising cases of violence against men demand a specific law to protect them from
such abuse." He argued that the sanctions should be severe to deter such
acts, ensuring that men can live their lives without fear of such extreme
violence.
He further condemned the
housewife’s actions and called for punitive measures to prevent the
denigration, injury, or amputation of men’s manhood. "The law should
protect manhood from being insulted, wasted, injured, or amputated, allowing
men to live their full lives," he added.
In another interview with Arise
Television, Sani addressed the issue of minimum wage in Nigeria, urging the
government to increase it to at least N100,000. He argued that the current
economic situation makes it impossible for Nigerian workers to survive on less.
"I don't know how a Nigerian can survive with less than N100,000,"
Sani said. "The government's current offer of N45,000-48,000 is
unrealistic when you consider living expenses."
Sani emphasized that the
government has the resources to pay a reasonable minimum wage and that doing so
would reflect a commitment to supporting its workers. He pointed out that
despite past difficulties in meeting wage payments, the recent withdrawal of
subsidy has provided the government with more funds. "Economic reforms are
taking place in this country, and while sacrifices are expected, they should be
fair and across the board," he noted.
He also highlighted the
importance of ensuring that increased government revenue from the subsidy
withdrawal benefits workers. "Workers are aware that trillions are coming
in, and they deserve their fair share," Sani stated. "When a nation
removes subsidies, it must compensate by increasing wages to a level where
workers can adequately support their families."
