As
Federal Ministry of women affairs collaborates with the police
The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, assured the
Federal ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development of his total support
on the clampdown on perpetrators of violent crimes and other gender-based
violence against women and other vulnerable persons.
The IGP
made this known when he played host to a delegate from the Federal ministry led
by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Ezekiel Oyemomi in his office at the Force Headquarters,
Abuja.
The
Permanent Secretary used the forum to solicit for the IGP’s support in his
ministry’s bid to prevent gender-based violent crimes against women and other
vulnerable persons. He also sought for the cooperation of the Police High
Command for the sensitization of the general public against the unwholesome
act.
The IGP
declared to the delegation that the Nigeria Police under his watch is gender
sensitive and as such it would be committed to ensure that the perpetrators of
gender based violence refrain from it or face the wrath of the law. He further
used the occasion to enjoin members of the public to utilize the Nigeria
Police-Gender based platform to report any case in this regard.
