Lagos: The Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola
who is the first Nigerian governor to
open a sex offenders register. He
signed an executive order to privide
for compulsory reporting of actual or
suspected child abuse and establishement of a sex offenders’
register at the State House, Ikeja Lagos
yesterday. The Govenor also identified Alimosho,
Agege, Kosofo and Oshodi-Isolo LGA
as the councils with the highest cases
of Sexual and Gender Based Voilence
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
