The Ekiti State Government has opened the Sexual Offenders Register for convicted sexual offenders in the state.
On Monday, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Olawale Fapohunda made the announcement during a visit of the Gender-based Violence Prohibition Law management committee led by the wife of the state governor, Bisi Fayemi who is the chairperson of the committee; and Commissioner for Women Affairs, Social Development and Gender Empowerment, Fola Richie-Adewusi.
Richie-Adewusi stressed that the sexual offenders register would make certain that culprits were ostracised from the society.
“This step will serve as a deterrent to men who find pleasure in assaulting women and young girls,” he said.
