In his response, while receiving the donated items, the Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Sylvester Alabi appreciated the gesture by the First Lady and assured her that the equipment will be used judiciously in the areas to which they are assigned.
He further stressed that the utilization of the equipment will enhance the capacity building and performance of the Gender Unit.
The CP revealed that one of the most worrisome causes of a crime he met on ground was Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (GBV), particularly rape cases.
He, however, noted that with the application of the unconventional approach to policing which includes Seminars/Workshops and sensitization of parents on their responsibility to their wards especially in areas of negligence which usually makes them vulnerable to a rapist, the situation has drastically reduced.
Abiodun Alabi further urged the media to help the Police in sensitizing parents by creating more awareness as such approach has helped in reducing the occurrence of rape cases and may serve as a major approach that will lead to the achievement of a Rape-free State.
