A Nigerian lawyer has shared a detailed list of 10 legal and precautionary measures men should follow if they discover a woman has died inside their apartment.
The legal practitioner, identified on X as @egi_nupe, posted the guidance to educate people on the appropriate legal steps to take in such a sensitive and potentially complicated situation.
He offered the advice in response to a question posted by another X user, @biggiestliberty, who had invited opinions from social media users on the matter.
After quoting the original inquiry on his X page, the lawyer cautioned against tampering with the scene or attempting to flee. Instead, he outlined a series of actions he believes should be taken immediately.
@egi_nupe wrote in the X post:
“1. Do not touch her.
2. Take pictures and make videos.
3. Talk to a lawyer and a doctor.
4. Report to the nearest police station .
5. Report to the nearest hospital, preferably government hospital.
6. Do not attempt to run away.
7. Prepare your mind to spend few days in cell or prison pending investigation.
8. Let your lawyer and doctor do their work and do not talk too much.
9. Prepare to spend money for your doctor, lawyer and police.
10. Pray to God for mercy. Let your mother pray for you.”
