“We assigned field officers alongside officers from the Alausa Police Station, who were immediately dispatched to the home where the incident occurred.

“After series of engagements with the disputing parties, we were able to restore peace even as an undertaken was made, to ensure the widow and her child were safe in their home,” Vivour-Adeniyi said.

According to her, while customs and traditions are respected, the relevant laws in the state must be upheld.

She commended all the well meaning Lagos residents, who insisted that justice must prevail, showing that ensuring the menace of domestic violence was a collective responsibility.
