The Lagos State Government says it is currently prosecuting suspected 113 rapists at the High Court in the state, even as Governor Babatunde Fashola laments rising cases of rape in the state.

This was disclosed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ade Ipaye on Monday at the signing of the bill on Lagos State Infrastructure and Asset Management into law and the Signing of Executive Order to Establish Sex Offenders Register at the State House, Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.
