The Human Rights Monitoring Agenda (HURMA) has however moved into action to do proper follow up of the matter. The coordinator of HURMA for Ikorodu unit, Comrade Bayewo Orimisan has been assigned to ensure further follow up and also see to the welfare of the victim (the defiled daughter).

According to the police PRO,
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has condemned the act and ordered that the case be transferred to the Gender Unit of the Command for further investigation.”

The Human Rights Monitoring Agenda would like the Lagos State police command to work more with reliable community leaders in the community and across the state for preventive measures as cases of rape increase.
