Lagos State Government yesterday said it recorded about 12,120 rape
cases and other sexual violence incidents in the last four years.
The
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade Ipaye, who
disclosed this while briefing journalists on the activities of his
ministry in the last one year, said that names of 140 sex offenders had
been recorded in the Sex Offenders’ Register. Ipaye also said the
government captured the biometric and fingerprint details of 40,000
criminals out of 62,789 unique record of crimes in its Crime Data
Registry.
The commissioner said that 5,834 offenders had been sentenced to
community service since the introduction of the non-custodian sentences
in the state criminal justice system. He added that 3,083 offenders were
asked to engage in community services as a form of punishment between
January 2014 and February 2015. This, Ipaye explained, was part of the
strategies to decongest the prisons.
