The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has joined in the fight against r*pe and s*xual offences in the country.

 

NAPTIP over the weekend published the names and photographs of some persons convicted of s*xual offences in Nigeria.

 

Julie Okah-Donli, Director-General of NAPTIP,  who is at the forefront of this initiative took to twitter to release the names.

Just last week, there was a series of protest in Abuja and Lagos with women calling for strict penalties against r*pists.

 

Nollywood actresses Hilda Dokubo and Tonto Dikeh partook in the protest submitting a petition at the Police Headquarters Abuja.

 

This initiative by NAPTIP is a step in the right direction at a time when women all over Nigeria are calling on the government to enforce stricter penalties for r*pe.

 

Thumbs up to the Director-General of NAPTIP and also, to those lending their voice to speak against r*pe.
