A few years ago, the Human Rights Activist, Oliseh Agbakoba (SAN), granted an interview and he disclosed that he had only daughters. Most women who have only female daughters in Nigeria suffer a lot of unjust treatments, psychological torture and physical harassment from their husbands and paternal relations. More often than not in Nigeria, when a child is born, people are always quick to find out the sex of the newborn. Lawyers and human rights activists should do more for the protection of the rights of abused women in our society. Until this is done, criminals in our society disguising as husbands and family memberswill continue to fester.
