Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State on Friday took to Twitter to expose a convicted sex offender in his state.
The governor in a tweet on his verified account, @kfayemi, announced that going forward, he would publicly shame convicted sex offenders in Ekiti.
“Today, we commence the naming and shaming of convicted sexual offenders in Ekiti State. #SayNotoRape. JKF,” the tweet read.
The tweet also had the picture of a man identified as Rev. Asateru Gabriel, of St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Ifisin-Ekiti, whom the governor said was serving a five-year jail term at the Federal prison, Ado-Ekiti for a sexual offence.
The tweet received positive reactions. While some people simply commended the governor, otherwise wondered if it was necessary and still other suggested such treatment for public looters.
Kadaria Ahmed, Journalist, said, “Bravo, Bravo ????Salute Sir, salute!”

Is this really necessary? I mean he’s serving for the offence isn’t he?

“Welcome development. Can we have the same for those who loot public funds? We name, shame, imprison them and recover what was illegally stolen.”
