Mercy Aigbe’s estranged husband, Lanre Gentry is set to appear in court today, after a case of physical assault was brought against him by the Lagos State Department of Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT.
The couple had a fight which led to Mercy having bruises and bleeding incessantly. This made her visit the office of the Lagos State Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Commissioner, Mrs Lola Akande, on Tuesday, to report the matter.
Mrs Akande who handed over the case to the State Ministry of Justice said: “I must commend Mercy’s courage, because what she did is what other women who are victims of domestic violence out there need to do. They don’t need to hide it, except they want to die.”
In the same vein, the Coordinator of DSVRT, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the court order prevents Lanre Gentry from getting close to his wife. She noted that the State government will pursue the case to a logical conclusion.
