Stressing the need for government to care for the masses especially persons in the informal sector in the group's quaterly report read 

"The lockdown has created a lot vacuum in so many ways, there are positives side of the Lockdown and there are negative Sides of the lockdown.

The positive side of the lockdown is a two way thing, 

" it was an opportunity for family bonding , Time to rest, reflect on things to achieve during the year, how to overcome unforseen challenges ahead.

Most importantly positive aspect of the lockdown is our children , the lockdown revealed what parents are truly are , the missing gap in the lives  of our Children.

Children are overtly very happy to have their parents around them for a long period as this."

"The negative side of the lockdown brought out the monster in most family ranging from increased beating, child abuse incident , spousal Domestic Abuse, Neighbors killing each other, Landlord, Landlady defacing their tenant with everlasting scare and regrets.

Families are no longer able to feed due to the extension of the lockdown and probably it might continue with the recent agreement of the Governors to total National lockdown for two weeks.

We can't also shy away from the nefarious activities of some law enforcement officers who unduly took advantage of the lockdown as an excuse to extort unsuspecting victims , gladly the Agencies hierarchy were able to address such situations as a result of public Outcry"

The report stated that sex offenders are taking advantage of the lockdown to prey on children therefore there must be efforts to stop this ugly trend. 

" Globally issues bothering on Child Abuse incidents, Domestic Abuse incidents has tripled from what it used to be,  due to frustration , economic down turn which had a serious adverse effects on the people.

Most hit in Nigeria are those in the informal sector which result to increase of transfer of aggression to their spouse , their children  and loved ones.

Sex Offenders are on the loose ,due to the Covid 19 pandemic, some irresponsible parents are now pushing their daughters into transactional Sex all in the bid to keep body and soul"
