A 27-year-old woman, Lucy Gbagyo, has died after jumping from a speeding
 commercial bus in the Shogunle area of Lagos State. Punch learnt that 
the Benue State indigene was on her way to see her fiance, Philip 
Nguhwa, on Sunday evening for preparations for their wedding when the 
incident happened.</div>
<div>
                     
Gbagyo and Nguhwa were to have their wedding on February 27, 2015, 
having courted for four years. It was learnt that on the fateful day, 
the deceased had boarded a vehicle from the Toll Gate end of the 
Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway en route to Ilori Street in the Shogunle area 
where Nguhwa lives.</div>
<div>
                     
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>The bus driver was said to have sped past her 
destination and she began to shout for him to stop.The driver allegedly 
ignored her and continued with the journey.When her cries fell on deaf 
ears, she reportedly forced the door open and jumped out. Her fiance, 
Nguhwa, a trader, said the driver immediately stopped the vehicle as 
other passengers and sympathizers in the area rushed to save the victim.<br />
<br />
He said, “One of them picked her phone and checked the last dialed 
number. He saw my number and called me. He said I should rush down to 
the bus stop. “When I got there, I called her name and she opened her 
eyes faintly and shut them again.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
 We all carried her into the bus and rushed her to the Lagos State 
University Teaching Hospital. “We had not gone too far when she died in 
the vehicle. When we got to the hospital, she was confirmed dead on 
arrival.” Punch learnt that the victim, who was into the business of 
buying clothes in Lagos and selling them in Benue, had lost her father 
in a motor accident in January. Our correspondent learnt that the police
 arrested both the driver and the conductor of the vehicle.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But a relative, Felix Agu, told our correspondent the family was not 
interested in pursuing the case. Agu said, “We have written a letter to 
withdraw the matter. All we want is for her corpse to be released to us 
for burial. The family stays in Benue and everybody wants her buried in 
her home town.” </div>

Kudos to Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola who is the first
Nigerian governor to open a s*x offenders register. He signed an
executive order to provide for compulsory reporting of actual or suspected
child abuse and establishment of a s*x offenders’ register at the State House,
Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja, yesterday Dec. 1st. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
He also identified Alimosho,
Kosofe, Agege and Oshodi-Isolo Local Govt as the councils with the
highest cases of S*xual and Gender Based Violence crimes in the state...</div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6589160015449763735&pli=1" name="more"></a>Below is what Fashola said</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
“I will like to tell those perpetrating
the act in these local governments (Alimosho, Kosofe, Agege and Oshodi-Isolo)
to desist now because we would be coming after them. We will combat these
crimes so that they do not become big crimes in the state. Also, in order to
ensure that criminals are monitored, we have created a crime data register
which states everyone who has engaged the criminal justice system of the state,
and we have close to a 100, 000 offenders on that register. And very soon, we
would start deploying people to the data rooms in the police stations across
the state to gather the bio data of offenders including their photographs and
others.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
“This was why we have asked
everyone to register so that before you employ anyone, you will know his track
record. And this is the time for everyone especially women to speak against it.
This is the time for us to have a local enforcement unit; either we call it
state police or whatever name we wish to call it, to protect the women from
frequent abuse from the opposite gender. This is the time for women to rise up
and challenge employers who sets unimaginable targets for their female
employees. These were targets they could not set for men,” he said</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
The Lagos State Attorney-General Mr Ade Ipaye added that </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
“We
monitoring one hundred and thirteen 113 s*xual violence cases currently at the
High Court. The Team is working actively to ensure prompt prosecution of these
cases. The major aim of the S*x Offenders Monitoring Programme and the Mandated
Reporter policy is to reduce repeat cases by providing names and personal details
of convicted s*x offenders in the State to a central database. The Database
will be accessible to individuals and organizations that need information. For
example, School proprietors who want to recruit can access this Register as a
form of background check.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“The Mandated Reporter policy will make
it compulsory for all State School Administrators, Counsellors, Teachers,
Social Welfare Officers and any other official of the State Government having
any dealings with children to report any suspected or actual child abuse or
neglect to the Attorney-General’s office. It is envisaged that the Lagos State
S*x Offenders Register will be open and maintained by the Lagos State Ministry
of Justice in partnership with the Lagos State Judiciary, the Nigerian Prisons
and the Nigerian Police”. He said...</blockquote>
