The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has confirmed the arrest of a man accused of threatening and intimidating a 28-year-old widow, simply identified as Tosin, over an alleged attempt to dispossess her of her late husband’s property in Ikorodu.
The agency said it was alerted on Tuesday, following a viral report alleging that the widow was being harassed by members of her late husband’s family.
The case gained public attention after activist Harrison Gwamnishu shared a video on his X account showing a man identified as Tosin’s father-in-law allegedly padlocking the gate of the property, preventing her from accessing the house.
Sharing the video, Gwamnishu wrote, “Standing with young widow TOSIN. This man here is Tosin’s father-in-law. See him padlocking the gate, locking Tosin outside.”
