Kudos to Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola who is the first
Nigerian governor to open a sex offenders register. He signed an
executive order to provide for compulsory reporting of actual or suspected
child abuse and establishment of a sex offenders’ register at the State House,
Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja, yesterday Dec. 1st.
He also identified Alimosho,
Kosofe, Agege and Oshodi-Isolo Local Govt as the councils with the
highest cases of Sexual and Gender Based Violence crimes in the state...
“I will like to tell those perpetrating the act in these local governments (Alimosho, Kosofe, Agege and Oshodi-Isolo) to desist now because we would be coming after them. We will combat these crimes so that they do not become big crimes in the state. Also, in order to ensure that criminals are monitored, we have created a crime data register which states everyone who has engaged the criminal justice system of the state, and we have close to a 100, 000 offenders on that register. And very soon, we would start deploying people to the data rooms in the police stations across the state to gather the bio data of offenders including their photographs and others.
“This was why we have asked everyone to register so that before you employ anyone, you will know his track record. And this is the time for everyone especially women to speak against it. This is the time for us to have a local enforcement unit; either we call it state police or whatever name we wish to call it, to protect the women from frequent abuse from the opposite gender. This is the time for women to rise up and challenge employers who sets unimaginable targets for their female employees. These were targets they could not set for men,” he said
The Lagos State Attorney-General Mr Ade Ipaye added that
“We monitoring one hundred and thirteen 113 sexual violence cases currently at the High Court. The Team is working actively to ensure prompt prosecution of these cases. The major aim of the Sex Offenders Monitoring Programme and the Mandated Reporter policy is to reduce repeat cases by providing names and personal details of convicted sex offenders in the State to a central database. The Database will be accessible to individuals and organizations that need information. For example, School proprietors who want to recruit can access this Register as a form of background check.
“The Mandated Reporter policy will make it compulsory for all State School Administrators, Counsellors, Teachers, Social Welfare Officers and any other official of the State Government having any dealings with children to report any suspected or actual child abuse or neglect to the Attorney-General’s office. It is envisaged that the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register will be open and maintained by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice in partnership with the Lagos State Judiciary, the Nigerian Prisons and the Nigerian Police”. He said...

ReplyDeleteFashola eko onibaje I love dis man
ReplyDeleteI rarely comment... However I have to say that love this man! He is a very progressive leader. A lot of women and especially children are being sexually abused in our communities and this is indeed a step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteNice one . I hope people co-operate with the state.
ReplyDeleteA step worth emulating by other states
ReplyDeleteGreat Job. Now I hope those bloggers who post rape and sex abuse videos on their platforms for the fun of it will be mindful of the fact and I pray the police will follow leads that will bring rape and abuse culprits to book.Also those that strip and humiliate women who are accused of minor or major crimes will stop the act or face the law.
ReplyDeletea very wonderful idea..nice one..
ReplyDeletemildredmaisamari@gmail.com

ReplyDelete*My R1.50c comment*
Good job Sir. Sweedydiagold@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this new law passed by fashola, I couldn't help but broke down in tears of joy, finally broken women like me can get justices, without being blamed or stigmatized. I'm a young lady in her mid 20s, I've been abused, raped, forced to bed out of my wish by course mate, my boss, in fact I've been a subject of assault and abuse all my life.But finally a messiah (governor fashola) has come, God bless lagos state, God bless daddy fashola.
ReplyDeleteHehe
ReplyDeleteAbout time, and I hope they take it serious..
ReplyDeleteI'm 25 years old, I've not voted before but will only cast my vote anytime Fashola is running for presidpresidency. This are the kind of people we want in power
ReplyDeleteSex offenders register should not be used to intimidate or harass innocent people or political opponents. Sex offender should only be registered after he or she has been convicted by a competent court. If he or she appeals offence cannot be registered until appellate court confirms conviction. Prohibition of smoking in public places law has failed. Go and arrest area boys smoking hemp in public and see what will happen! Lets not play to the gallery.
ReplyDeleteCorrect Man!!! more grease jore!
ReplyDeleteTo me ooo fashola is simply the best. Which he can contest for the presidential post sef
ReplyDeleteNice one. ...Kudos to Gov.Raji Fashola.
ReplyDeleteHehe, there goes a +1 to the "good deed" record...who would've thought!! Well nat even in ma weirdest dreams...wait wah I wanna know is "why is he doing that now"?? Countless times, lasses molested!! Guess He's more of a tyke than Imagined ...
ReplyDeleteGood idea but will this be any use since Nigeria don't have a good database system of identity to decipher who is dead and alive much more the crowded Lagos full of immigrants whose identity are barely known.

Anoda giant stride. Mr. Fashola you seem to be our president made in heaven. You actually hav a greater chance of being the president dan the ones clamouring for it in your party! The future is for those who seize today. There is a place for a man decides to change the status quo.
