Monday, June 22, 2026 - Police have arrested a man who was detained at a Lagos hospital after arriving with his severely battered 18-year-old wife.
Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu confirmed the
arrest this evening following a visit to the Isolo General Hospital, where the
victim is currently receiving medical treatment.
According to Harrison, investigations revealed that the
victim has lived with the suspect since she was 15 years old and was forced to
drop out of school due to the relationship. He said despite the abuse, the
victim fiercely defended her husband and fought to prevent his
arrest, citing fears of facing backlash from her abuser's family.
Harrison noted that she requires urgent psychological
therapy due to the severe, long-term trauma of the relationship.
