A heartbreaking incident in Lugbe, Abuja, has left a family mourning the loss of their 24-year-old daughter, allegedly killed by her boyfriend. Their plea for justice highlights the struggles many face within Nigeria’s often ineffective legal system. One comment under the post urged the family to seek revenge, reflecting widespread frustration with justice delays. While such feelings are understandable, taking matters into one’s own hands can perpetuate a cycle of violence.
Another commenter stated, “Relationship for Abuja na risk,” suggesting romantic relationships in the city are inherently dangerous. However, it is wrong to single out Abuja; relationship issues and violence can occur anywhere. We must focus on advocating for systemic change rather than blaming specific locations.
