We saw domestic abuse all around us growing up, says MI Abaga

MI Abaga, the rapper, says he looks to invest in a movie project that focuses on domestic violence.

The music icon, in a tweet on Thursday, condemned cases of marital assault recently highlighted in media reports.

Osinachi Nwachukwu, the now-late gospel singer, was earlier alleged to have been a victim of domestic violence.

Peter Nwachukwu, her husband, was arrested after Osinachi’s death was attributed to physical abuse by him.

Precious Chikwendu, the ex-wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, former aviation minister, also shared photos of her injuries in a social media post where she described herself as a victim of domestic violence.

The matter has since dominated social media discourse as more Nigerians share their personal experiences.

In his tweet, Abaga stated that he is investing in the said movie to ensure domestic assault in Nigeria is addressed.

My niece told me a film plot that had domestic abuse as it’s main context.. I am going to invest in bringing that project to life.. the dirty little secret about our society needs to be addressed out in the open.. domestic abuse needs to end. ❌❌
