Beat Your Woman In Lagos And Go To Jail by CLIQBOY(m): 1:49pm On Aug 05, 2013
There's a new Domestic Violence Law
in Lagos State, and it states that if you
beat your wife, you will go to Jail. It
is now an offense for any man to hit
his wife. 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 most times the target of violence in
the home but also to safeguard the interest of men, children, servants,
maids and everyone who may be a
victim of domestic violence. 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. Continue... Here's what happens when there's a
case of domestic violence.
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.

What laws applies to women that beats men in nigeria,especially in lagos where there a lot of ogbologbo women?

Assaults of any kind should be treated sternly,including the frequent assaults of the police,kai and army on the hapless citizens.
