Reports reaching us indicate that the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons is set to publish the names, photos and details of all rapists.
In a statement, NAPTIP Director-General also asked Nigerians to report cases of rape to the agency or the nearest police station.
Reacting to the recent spike in rape cases, the Director-General, Julie Okah-Donli said reporting cases of rape is the only way to curb the abominable act.
She revealed that the agency will act on reported cases appropriately stating that the Sex Offenders’ Register had already been opened in the agency where the names of culprits involved in rape cases were documented.
In her statement, she said;
“Rapists are now getting away with their illicit acts along with murder; these cases of domestic servitude are cases that take place behind closed doors.
Our job in NAPTIP is to protect Nigerian men and women, we are not going to compromise our work if they report such cases and we will ensure justice is done.
Rape cases are not reported because of the stigmatization of the victims and this makes the cases rise. And very soon, the names of rapists will be published with their pictures in the media.”
