litigator: Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for your question.
I believe you want to inquire if you have a legal remedy in law.
My answer is yes. Yes! you have legal redress in both civil and criminal courts. But for this discourse, I will focus on the criminal aspect.
Let me state emphatically that it is a criminal offence to impregnate a woman or girl and not take responsibility for the maintenance of the pregnancy. It is also an offence to dessert a child younger than 12 years old.
This is encapsulated in S.279 of the Criminal Code Law of Lagos State (2011) which states that:
(1) Any person who impregnates a woman or girl and fails, refuses or neglects to contribute to maternity-related costs from ante-natal to post-natal stages is guilty of an offence and is liable to a fine of Forty-Five Thousand Naira (N45,000.00) without prejudice to the recovery of any cost that any other person may have reasonably incurred in relation to the upkeep of the woman or girl.
(2) For the purpose of this Section, maternity-related costs include all medical expenses, food expenses, reasonable shelter and other necessaries.
(3) In determining the financial liability of a person under subsection (1) of this Section, the Court shall have regard to the means and resources available to him.
And Section 278 of the Law provides that:
“Any person who being the parent, guardian or other person having the lawful care or charge of a child under the age of twelve years, and being able to maintain such child, willfully and without lawful or reasonable cause deserts the child and leaves him without means of support, is guilty of a misdemeanour, and is liable to a fine of One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) without prejudice to the recovery of any cost any other person may have reasonably incurred with respect to the upkeep of the child."
From the above position of the law, there is no gainsaying that you do not have a remedy in law. You could use the police or report at the domestic violence team of Lagos State Ministry of Justice.
For the Civil aspect which is more effective, you will need to approach the family court.
The truth remains that the Child Right Law and the Child Right Act was designed to protect the physical, psychological and mental health of every Nigerian child.
As a mother, you should take proper steps to ensure the baby's daddy or papa does the needful.
Shalom

VEHINTOLAR: One would think you would've written about the chances of an Igbo presidential candidate in all of this but typically,you made it all about Tinubu and SW ! If you honestly believe that Tinubu/SW will be rejected in the NE,NC,NW,SS and of course,SE,what makes you think your preferred Igbo candidate will be accepted in all these regions except the SE ? Politics is not as simple as ABC as some of you naively assume. Tinubu is the most prepared candidate;he has done his homework. Even in the north,Atiku stands no chance against Tinubu trust me. You'll be shocked !! Look at this dreamer, let Tinubu try, even in SW, he'll not win convincingly there. His Yoruba muslim mumuric will sly him too.  |
