She ended her presentation by reemphasising the need for political will and used that opportunity to appreciate the Governor of Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and by extension, the entire Government, the Hon.

The reason I advised that you should contact these people is that they've got lawyers, psychological counsellors and other professionals that are needed to tackle this case. They are backed by the Lagos State Government and they know how to make the police do their work. They can also provide shelter for the woman and the child if the need arises. They are your best bet.

Legos is ahead of other states in handling domestic and sexual violence. That agency is doing well, surprised to see well equipped units in the agency.

Lagos leads, others follow
God Bless Yorubaland

Nice leadership from the state of excellence, unlike its society destroying leadership in collecting money from the poorest of the poor in levies, rates, taxes etc for high IGR without employing workers for commensurate improvements in facilities, utilities and services.

What else is your own good governance apart from sexual abuse laws

who drafted this article that didn't see the need to explain what DDVA means. End time journalists

They always come to learn good administration from Lagos government but their ill-mannered youths selling phone covers here won't stop bad mouthing the best governed state in the country

They came to learn from Lagos!

Lagos ahead

Lagos is the only functioning state in Nigeria.
Go and verify!

I initially thought that Lagos DSVA was a joke not able to work well in Nigeria, until my sister friend husband turned her into a punching bag. They came and carry the guy o and locked him up for a couple of days and made him sign an undertaking never to touch her again.
