Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT) has entered into a partnership with the Nigeria Police on the best strategies to adopt in handling issues relating to such crimes.
The partnership was reached when DSVRT presented copies of sexual offences related laws such as the Child’s rights Act 2007; Prevention Against Domestic Violence Law 2007, and the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011 to the Police to familiarise with at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja.
The ceremony was attended by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Ajani Owoseni, along with some Deputy Commissioners of Police and other top officers.
In a statement issued and signed by DSVRT Coordinator, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, the provision of the laws was one of the various initiatives adopted to improve the capacity of the police in responding to reports of rape, defilement, domestic violence, child abuse, maltreatment and neglect.
