The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), has published the names and photos of convicted rapists and other sex offenders.

The Agency made the identities public via its Twitter handle on Sunday. The publication showed that six offenders were convicted in 2019 while four others were convicted in 2020.

Among those named is a former supervisor at Chrisland School, Adegboyega Adenekan, 47, who was jailed 60 years for defiling a two-year-old child.

Meanwhile, NAPTIP has assured Nigerians that it was committed to ending rape and sexual abuse.

The tweet read: “Here are the identities of convicted sex offenders as seen on the Nigeria Sex Offender Register. @naptipnigeria is determined to naming and shaming all sex offenders. More names will be published as the convictions keep coming in.”

Earlier, the Director-General of NAPTIP, Julie Okah-Donli, urged Nigerians to report cases of rape within their vicinity to the agency or the nearest police station.
