The Lagos State government has confirmed the arrest of a suspect over the alleged intimidation, assault and attempted dispossession of a widow following the death of her husband in Ikorodu. The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, saying it swung into action after receiving reports on Tuesday about the woman’s ordeal. According to the agency, the widow alleged that members of her late husband’s family had threatened her life, physically assaulted her and attempted to take over properties belonging to her and her children. “Preliminary feedback from the police confirms that the alleged perpetrator has been arrested and is currently in custody, while investigations continue,” the statement said. The agency urged residents experiencing domestic violence, abuse or intimidation to report such cases for intervention promptly.
