Nigeria starts “naming and shaming” sex offenders
the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has now published names and photographs of some convicted sex offenders on the Nigeria Sex Offender Register.
The DG of NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah-Donli, shared a list over the weekend via Twitter. She said the agency is determined to start naming and shaming all sex offenders, and more names of sex offenders would be published once they are convicted.
I applaud Nigeria for at least being honest about the purpose of their registry. Had American lawmakers done that, they’d have opened the registry to constitutional challenge long ago.
Good for you Dame Julie Okah-Donli…make your shaming list so that the real sex offenders can hide behind it in plain sight just like they do here in the USA.
Another useless politician taking a page from a useless American politician Lauren Book.
Could this not open the challenge again as to the actual purpose of the registry.
Nigeria is hardly the country to condemn anyone for anything. It is rife with corruption and political crime.
You said it all Captain. Breeding themselves out of existence…conflicts between “religions”…”cultures” ….raping, murdering the norm.
I’m kinda concerned our government gives these people our information about us.
Politician and Lauren Book in the same sentence is the biggest oxymoron. She’s a professional victim that projects revenge on others filling her daddy’s agenda. It’s not a matter of if; but when the people of Florida will see her and her daddy as useless.
Rwanda becomes the latest country to add a public SO registry, though it may not cover as many offenses as we do in the US:
