Introduction:
From homes, schools, workplaces to religious centers, there are
often too many cases of emotional abuse. In homes, many children
grow up under homemade emotional abuse from their parents,
guardians and siblings. Unfortunately, only few people understand
that emotional abuse from parents/family members is not a family
law issue but a criminal offence. With very poor training for
teachers and poor supervisions of schools, many students are
emotionally abused. And, the often-illiterate parents of such
students, consider emotional abuse as part of school training and
as such condone it. At the workplace, religious centers, clubs and
almost every other gathering (including social media platforms),
there are tons of patent and latent emotional abuse, often covered
in veils of moral training and cultural norms.

Emotional Abuse as a Crime:
Nigeria operates on written laws and as such, the lawmakers at the
state and federal levels, make written laws. Nothing (action or
inaction) is a crime/offence in Nigeria, unless there is a written
law made by the legislature, that declares such an action or
inaction to be a crime. This means that an action or inaction that
is not accepted by religious, cultural and social norms and
practices, is not an offence, unless and until such action or
inaction is declared to be a crime by a written law. Also, the laws
and rules of a religious body, social group, community, tribe,
business or any gathering, cannot declare anything to be a crime.
It is only a written law made by the legislature (the National
Assembly or a State House of Assembly) or made on the basis of such
law, that can declare a thing to be a crime.
In the case of emotional abuse, both federal law and several
state laws have declared “emotional, verbal and psychological
abuse” to be a punishable offence. Whether a tribe, religion, group
or gathering perceives or believes that emotional abuse is not a
crime but rather a tool of control and discipline is immaterial.
When the law speaks, every other person, group, institution,
interest or group must bow.
“Emotional, verbal and psychological abuse” means a pattern of
degrading or humiliating conduct towards any person, including “…
repeated insults, ridicule or name calling, repeated threats to
cause emotional pain or repeated exhibition of obsessive
possessiveness, which is of such a nature as to constitute an
invasion of a person’s privacy, liberty, integrity or security.”
Hence, any form or measure of the above listed activities is
emotional, verbal and psychological abuse.
Emotional, verbal and psychological abuse is a criminal offence
that is punishable with an imprisonment for not more than 1 year or
fine of not more than #200,000.00 or both. An attempt to commit the
offence is an offence and it is punishable with an imprisonment for
not more than 6 months or fine of not more than #100,000.00 or
both. Inciting, aiding, abetting or advising another person to
commit the offence, is on its own also an offence. It is an offence
punishable with an imprisonment for not more than 6 months or fine
of not more than #100,000.00 or both. Any person who knowingly
receives or assists another person that has committed the offence
is deemed to be an accessory after the fact and to have also
committed an offence, punishable with an imprisonment for not more
than 6 months or fine of not more than #100,000.00 or both.
Conclusion:
Gone are the days, when children and wives were treated like mere
slaves of men. We all have equal rights and our rights must be
protected. No form of emotional, verbal and psychological abuse is
permitted by any law in Nigeria. Any of these acts is an emotional,
verbal and psychological abuse, the acts are; … repeated insults,
ridicule or name calling, repeated threats to cause emotional pain
or repeated exhibition of obsessive possessiveness, which is of
such a nature as to constitute an invasion of a person’s privacy,
liberty, integrity or security.”
Training and formation should not condone any form of emotional,
verbal and psychological abuse. Emotional, verbal and psychological
abuse is a crime, punishable with imprisonment or fine or even
both. Victims and their well-wishers are encouraged to report all
cases of motional, verbal and psychological abuse to police and
other relevant law enforcement agencies.

Daily Law Tips (Tip 785) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M,

Introduction:
From homes, schools, workplaces to religious centers, there are
