ADO EKITI - In a bid to discourage cases of rape and sexual harassment, Ekiti State government has opened a black book, called the Sexual Offender Register, where a list of convicted sexual offenders would be compiled and registered in the government gazette.

The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Olawale Fapohunda, made the disclosure while receiving the gender-based Violence Prohibition Law Management Committee led by the wife of the governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, in his office.

Mrs Fayemi who is the chairperson of the committee in the state was accompanied on the advocacy visit by the state Commissioner for Women Affairs, Social Development and Gender Empowerment, Mrs. Fola Richie-Adewusi.

The team which had paid similar visits to the Vice Chancellor, Ekiti State University, Prof. Oladipo Aina and the state police command where they met the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sotonye Wakama and state Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola.

Judging by the trauma victims of rape and other forms of sexual assault undergo, Fapohunda said the sexual offender register would ensure that perpetrators were ostracized from the society.

In her response, Mrs Fayemi urged the commissioner to assign gender-based violence-related cases to lawyers adequately trained for the purpose, who are sensitive to gender issues.

I actually agree with you. When I see the shameless e-leering going on here, I actually wonder how many Nairaland male are well-adjusted and enjoying normal social interaction with 'consenting' females. To me, the rate of e-leering of some guys here is rather too serious to dismiss.

We actually had a real case here where a Nairalander was exposed by some girls at his higher institution for how he used to leer at them sexually and like a pervert. Uncannily, the chap had exactly the same behaviour on Nairaland. He soon disappeared after he was exposed here

You shouldn't be surprised that those men who leer women on this forum are like that in real life. it's either they have marital problems or they have been jilted by their lover or they dont get the female attraction they desire.They have no where to pour their anger except on the internet. where no one will know about their fustration.

This is a novel idea...

I hope this issue can be expanded nationwide...

Too many sex crazed paedos

a list of convicted intimate offenders would be compiled and registered in the government gazette.

That's real challenge, our investigators usually mess up most of these cases making it difficult for rapists to be convicted.

Worse still many RA.PE cases go unreported because of the trauma associated with the act.

Nice development all d same!!
