Governor Dapo Abiodun reacting in a statement assured members of the public that the state government and law enforcement agencies are committed to tackling rape and ensuring justice prevails.

“Our collective voice must resound in unison, condemning these acts and demanding justice for the victims. Rape is a criminal offence that leaves lasting scars on its survivors—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

“No individual should experience such trauma or live in constant fear of becoming a victim. It is our responsibility to reaffirm the values of respect, empathy, and compassion towards one another.

“Our law enforcement agencies have intensified their efforts to investigate instances of sexual assault and apprehend the culprits.

“Additionally, support and counselling services have been bolstered to provide guidance and assistance to survivors during their journey towards healing and recovery.”
