The Lagos State Government said that at least 340 husbands were beaten by their wives in the last year.
This was revealed in the Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency’s (DSVA) quarterly reports by Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, the executive secretary.
She said that within the past year, there has also been a rise in the number of male reports of domestic abuse.
340 men reported incidents of domestic abuse committed against them by their spouses between September 2022 and July 2023, according to Vivour-Adeniyi.
She voiced concern about the pattern, stating that the agency “is currently handling the cases in order to reach an amicable resolution.”
