Fatal cases are 160 and closed cases are 331 and then opened cases are 972 and out of this huge number of 5,197, only 16 are convicted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; This is unacceptable and that is why I\u2019m pressing on the justice system and at a dinner at the presidential villa, I emphasised this to the chairman of the inter-ministerial committee to the attorney- general of the federation and hopefully I\u2019m expecting that he should be there and that is why we are going to hold the press briefing in his office,\u201d Tallen said.<\/p>\n<p>Isopi said she is very honoured to be in the ministry and the EU would help to make this ministry even more visible.<\/p>\n<p>Isopi said, \u201cAs you all know, gender issues, equality, women rights are priority for the European Union worldwide and in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"m_2815511409727464614ymail_android_signature\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Occasioned by the number of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) convictions in the country, Minister of women affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, European Union (EU) Ambassador, Ms Samuela Isopi and others&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":89004,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
