The Government of Ekiti State has commenced the public naming
and shaming of convicted sex offenders in the State.
The Attorney-General of the State Olawale Fapohunda had earlier
this year issued a statement on practical measures aimed at curbing
sexual violence in the State.
Fapohunda said that ” the State government is concerned about
the frequency of reported cases of sexual violence. It has,
therefore, become necessary to put in place proactive measures to
halt this trend. One of these measures include public notification
of the status of convicted sex offenders by showing their
photographs on Ekiti State Broadcasting Service and announcing
their names on Radio Stations in the State”
According to a statement issued by the office of Attorney-
General, Ministry of Justice Ekiti State, today ” The Ministry of
Justice has today began the publication of the names and
photographs of convicted sex offenders in the State. We are
commencing with a Public Notice on the status of Reverend Asateru
Gabriel, a former Anglican priest who was convicted for the Sexual
Abuse of a seven-year-old girl. Reverend Gabriel is currently
serving a five-year prison sentence in Federal Prisons Ado Ekiti.
This publication is in furtherance of the Fayemi administration’s
zero-tolerance policy for all forms of violence against Women and
Children.”
Other additional measures to curb Sexual Violence in the State
as announced by Fapohunda include:
i. Pasting the Photographs of convicted sex offenders in
prominent public spaces in their communities and their Local
Government Headquarters;
ii. Issuing an advisory to the traditional ruler of the sex
offender’s community on the status of the offender;
iii. Uploading the Sex Offenders photograph on the website of
