Federal Government Unveils Its Sexual Offenders Register

The Federal Government in collaboration with strategic partners has unveiled the Nigeria sexual offenders register.


The register which will have the pictures and all particulars of convicted sex offenders in the country will also have a section that offenders who were never convicted will be displayed for an administrative fee.

Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said that the exact number of cases of sexual abuse victims is difficult to confirm because when women come forward, they are called liars and troublemakers.

The Vice President who urged Nigerians to speak up or go to the police when they witness a sexual assault incident said that one of the steps to take in eradicating sexual abuse includes challenging degrading reference to women.

Prof. Osinbajo said this on Monday in Abuja, at the official launch of the s*x offenders register by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) in collaboration with the partners.

He was represented by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr. Dayo Apata.
