The Ekiti State government on Saturday, February 27, published the name and photograph of a man who is currently serving a life imprisonment for sleeping with a 14-year-old girl in its offenders list, making him the fifth person to have the name and photographs published.
The man, Lateef Afere Oluwaseun, aged 39, and a native of Aramoko Ekiti, living at Number 38, Anaye Street, Aramoko Ekiti, before the sentence, is currently serving a life imprisonment at the Ado Ekiti Correctional Centre for sleeping with a 14-year-old girl.
He has therefore had his name and photograph registered in the Offenders Register of the state Ministry of Justice.
According to a statement from the ministry on its Facebook Wall on Saturday by Olalekan Suleman, Special Assistant to the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, the naming and shaming is in furtherance of the zero tolerance policy of the state government for violence against women and girls.
According to the statement: “The Ministry of Justice, Ekiti State, today published the details of another convicted offender.
“Lateef Afere Oluwaseun from Aramoko-Ekiti was recently convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by an Ado-Ekiti High Court for sleeping with a 14-year-old girl.
The ministry will continue to prosecute offenders and will also ensure persons convicted do not benefit from the governor’s powers of early release from prison.”
