We’ll defend men beaten by wives –Lagos

Lagos State Government yesterday said that it would begin to defend husbands who were being battered by their wives.

The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Mrs. Lola Akande, who disclosed this, said government would not only protect married women who were victims of domestic violence but also men.
According to her, government created the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to address domestic violence and alleviate poverty because women are usually mistreated by men. But she said that since there were increasing cases of men now seeking the dissolution of marriage owing to frequent beatings from their wives, government would rescue men from onslaughts from their wives.
