The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Anthony Ani (SAN) of the Enugu State Ministry of Justice, while speaking with newsmen in Enugu on Thursday says the ministry has set up a referral centre for counseling rape victims due to the rising cases of sexual abuse of minors.

Ani said that rape victims would be counseled by professionals at the centre.

He said that the ministry was collaborating with the Department for International Development (DFID), and Women’s Aid Collective, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), to assist rape victims to obtain speedy prosecution of culprits.

He said that the centre would be inaugurated in May.
