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.
The agency withheld the widow’s identity, who lives in Ikorodu with her two children.
