Physical Abuse Due To Provocation

According to law, provocation is when a person is considered to have committed a criminal act partly because of a preceding set of events that might cause a reasonable individual to lose self-control. Physical Abuse is a crime in Nigeria. The protection against domestic violence is indispensable in the achievement of a safe, serene family and environmental life. Being recognized, states have taken steps to enact laws to curb the seemingly increasing trend of domestic violence cases in Nigeria. The Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act of 2015 provides comprehensive legal protection against all forms of domestic violence, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse allowing victims to seek redress and obtain restraining orders against their perpetrators.

Provocation is one of such human weaknesses that constitute defense in criminal charges. Although provocation rarely serves as a legal defense meaning it does not stop the offender from being guilty of the crime. In situations where it is raised as a defense to criminal responsibility, certain elements of provocation will be established before the defense succeeds.

In practical times, provocation has been the driving force in domestic violence cases.
