The new domestic violation law in Lagos state
According to the deputy
governor of Lagos State, Hon
Joke Orelope-Adefulire, the
Domestic Violence Law is made
not only to protect women who
are mostly affected by domestic abuse,but also to
safeguard the interest of men,
children, servants, maids and
everyone else.
In case of man/woman abuse
issues, it does not matter
whether there's a valid
contracted marriage between
the victim and the perpetrator
of the act as long as they are
living together in a home
setting.
Underlisted are what would take place when a domestic abuse happens:
1. Remove the abuser from the
home pending when the abuse
is corrected
2. Or remove the complainant
from the residence and put in a
protective home
3. Provision of financial
assistance by the state via the
Office of the Public Defender/
Legal Aid Council to victims of abuse who maybe financially unable to seek redress in court
4. The court can issue warrant of arrest and remand order.
