Concern as domestic violence increases in Nigeria

Within the past few months, domestic violence worsened in many Nigerian homes, with horrible scenes recorded across the country.

Between 2019 and 2024, several reports of physical violence left countless individuals.

Some of the cases recorded in January 2025 are highly worrisome and heightened the concern of Nigerians.

A psychologist, Tony Omeluko blamed the ugly trend on frustration birthed by the worsening economic situation of the country.

Omeluko said:

“Nigerians and other African countries don’t care much about people’s mental health. A lot of Nigerians are currently sick mentally due to the hardship."
