Introduction:
Domestic Violence is never an accident, rather the signs are always
there but often ignored by victims, neighbours, friends and family
members of victims. Like any thing in Africa, domestic violence
offenders are rarely confronted rather their victims are often
encouraged to pray and hope for the best. Reporting a violent
spouse is considered a taboo in most communities in Nigeria, so
victims are forced to suffer and smile until they die! This work
emphasis on the crime of hiding domestic violence and urges
victims, their friends and families to always report domestic
violence to avoid being offenders too.

Realities of Domestic Violence In Nigeria:
1. “There is a deep cultural belief in Nigeria that it is socially
acceptable to hit a woman/to discipline a spouse. Domestic violence
is widespread and shows no signs of lessening in Nigeria.”
2. “The CLEEN Foundation reports 1 in every 3 respondents admitting
to being a victim of domestic violence.”
3. “Domestic violence takes many forms including physical, sexual,
emotional, and mental. Traditionally, domestic violence is
committed against females. Common forms of violence against women
in Nigeria are rape, acid attacks, molestation, wife beating, and
corporal punishment.”
4. “A study recently commissioned by the ministry of women’s
affairs and social development and the United Nations Population
Fund (UNPFA) Nigeria with support from the Norwegian Government
found out that 28% of Nigerian women aged 25-29 have experienced
some form of physical violence since age 15.”
Suffering and Smiling:
Nigerians are fond of condoning and normalising hardship, violence
and abuse, since the days of colonisation to the days of military
rule. Well, this social imbalance, seems to have creeped into
homes, relationship and affairs in Nigeria. Traditionally, women
are considered as mere property in most customs in Nigeria (this
tradition is unconstitutional, illegal and criminal) and this gives
exaggerated self-perception to men, giving room for women and girls
to be maltreated and to enjoy same. Many women and girls in Nigeria
are often encouraged to endure their domestically violent husbands
because according to more elderly women; “men are same”, “it is
better to be married”, remain married at all cost”, “endure the
pains because of your children” and “what will people say about
you?”
The popular afro-beat inventor (Fela Anukpola Kuti) encapsulated
the above true state of Nigerians and Nigeria as “suffering and
smiling” while condemning the violence poured on Nigerians by the
then military dictators. Fela’s songs are still very relevant and
reverberating in many homes of Nigerians, as old and young women
and girls are brutalised and expected to stomach their pains and
smile sheepishly.
Well, enduring, condoning, hiding, protecting, concealing or
refusing to support any case of domestic violence is a criminal
offence. So, it is safe to say that “suffering and smiling” over
domestic violence is a crime in Nigeria. By this, where a person is
a victim of domestic violence and that victim with the intention to
hide such violence destroys, hides or damages any evidence or proof
of such offence, the victim has committed an offence. This offence
of the victim is punishable with an impriosnment for not more than
3 years and or fine of not more than N500,000.00.
Also, any person in Nigeria (a person that is not a law
enforcement agent) can arrest any suspected offender that has
committed an offence in his presence or any person that he/she
reasonably suspects to have committed an offence. This is so far as
the offence is not an offence that requires a warrant of arrest.
Domestic Violence is not an offence that any police officer or any
person needs to obtain a warrant before making an arrest.
Conclusion:
Domestic violence includes all forms of abuse, harm, violence and
the fear of such, including; “rape”, “inflicting of physical
injury”, “harmful traditional practices on widows”, “forced
financial dependence or economic abuse”, “emotional, verbal and
psychological abuse”, “female circumcision and genital mutilation”,
“ejection of spouse from home”, “forced isolation or separation
from family and friends”, “abandonment of husband or wife, children
or other dependents without any means of sustenance”, “stalking”,
“political violence”, “indecent exposure”, “hiding domestic
violence”, “frustrating investigation of domestic violence”,
“damage to property in order to cause distress”, ”intimidation”,
“spousal battery”, “attack with harmful substances”, “poisoning”,
“incest”, “sexual abuse”, “sexual assault”, “sexual exploitation”
and “sexual harassment” among others.
For everytime domestic violence that is hidden, the victim is
given another chance to be violated again. There is no guarantee
that the victim will not die out of such violence. So, people who
only pray and condone domestic violence are praying for the death
of the victim. Before any prayer and fasting over domestic
violence, there is need for the suspected offender to be reported
to the law enforcement agencies (this creates a supervisory eye and
investigation) and for medical assessment and treatment, as well as
prosecution. A man, a woman, a girl, a boy or any person can be a
victim of domestic violence. Although, domestic violence is a
criminal offence, hiding such an offence or offender is also a
criminal offence.
My authorities, are:
1. Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
2. Sections 1, 47 and 48 of the Violence Against Persons
(Prohibition) Act, 2015 and other similar laws in states of the

3. Sections 1, 2, 8, 62, 63, 64 and 65 of the Ekiti State Gender
