In a resounding call for justice, human rights activist Harrison has demanded swift legal action following the brutal assault of a woman by her husband in Abuja. The disturbing incident, which has sparked outrage among local communities and advocacy groups, highlights the urgent need for stronger protections against domestic violence in Nigeria.
Speaking at a press briefing, Harrison condemned the assault and urged authorities to ensure the perpetrator faces the full force of the law. "No one should suffer such cruelty, especially at the hands of someone meant to protect and love them. We will not rest until justice is served," he asserted.
The victim, whose identity is being protected for security reasons, reportedly sustained severe injuries and is currently receiving medical care. Advocacy organizations are rallying support to provide her with necessary resources, including legal representation and emotional support.
Harrison and fellow activists have also called for a review of existing laws on domestic violence, demanding stricter enforcement and better support systems for survivors. "This is not just about one woman—it is about ending a cycle of abuse that has plagued our society for too long," Harrison emphasized.
