The statement partly read, “In the wake of the recent report of a seven-month pregnant woman who lost her life as a result of domestic violence, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency received yet another distress call from a mandated reporter in the early hours of today (Wednesday) of an alleged case of domestic violence involving another pregnant woman and her husband.
“It was alleged that the expectant mother was physically assaulted by her partner who then proceeded to lock her in their apartment located in the Mushin Area of the state. The alleged physical assault eventually resulted in the pregnant woman losing consciousness and it took the timely intervention of the neighbours who rescued her and rushed her to the General Hospital for medical assistance.
“Following the reported incident, the Executive Secretary of DSVA, Mrs Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the office immediately contacted the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, and police officers from Mushin Police Station were immediately dispatched to the scene of the incident.”
