The Ekiti State government has expressed concern over the increasing reports of sexual abuse of women and children.

The Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Mr Olawale Fapounda, disclosed this at a press briefing in Ado, the state capital.

The Commissioner cautioned offenders to cease from such violations, taking note of that the government would not waver to glue the photos of guilty parties in open space.

He clarified that the government has made plans to battle the primitive act with stiffer measures and guarantee the security of the defenseless.

Fapounda reverberated that sentenced sex offenders would now have their photos obviously glued in their networks, among different measures to control the act.

“In addition to existing measures, we will now start pasting photographs of convicted sex offenders in prominent public spaces within their communities and their local government headquarters; uploading the pictures of the convicts on the website of the Ministry of Justice; and showing photographs and reading the names of sex offenders on the state radio and television station,” the commissioner stated.

He added that some of the other measures taken to curb sexual offences include notifying traditional rulers of the status of convicts and running psychiatric tests for arrested sex abuse suspects.
