55 Husbands Reported How Their Wives Battered Them In Lagos – Attorney general

A total of 55 husbands have reported to the Lagos State Government how their wives battered them in the last eight years in renewed cases of domestic violence in the state. .

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State, Adeniji Kazeem at a media briefing in Ikeja, yesterday, revealed that more men were now coming forward to report cases of violence against them by their women. .

Kazeem, who is the chairman, Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT, said there had been 55 cases of men reporting domestic violence against them by their wives between January 2017 and now as against 14 that was recorded last year. .

However, Kazeem disclosed that between January and September 2017, a total of 852 cases of domestic violence and related cases were recorded in Lagos State, saying that out of the total number, there were 564 domestic violence cases, 60 defilement cases, 30 rape cases, 11 attempted rape, 123 child neglect and abuse cases, and 84 other cases. .

He said the data revealed that most of sexual assault cases were perpetrated in the afternoon during weekdays, while corroborating that 95% of the perpetrators of sexual violence were known to the victims.

This, according to him, necessitated the need to embark on sensitization campaigns for parents on parenting skills and child abuse prevention tips as well as training for children on child’s rights, child abuse, safety and how to preserve evidence.
