Attempts to sweep the matter under the carpet

"Hello, everyone. The police here in Lokoja are trying to sweep the matter under the carpet here, they are blaming me for bringing it online and not attacking why he was beating my mum. My mum is also scared of coming down to police station to make a statement.
"They just want to end it just like that without doing anything, my dad was in their office talking to them for hours, turning their mind and support towards him. The police are opting to just settle it amicably and they want me to go back home."

"It’s high time strict laws that protect DV victims are enacted in Nigeria. He wouldn’t dare do this if he were abroad because he knows what will follow. It’s coz these people know they can get away with this nonsense and are not afraid of any repercussions.
