Shehu Sani Criticizes Sanusi’s Stance on Domestic Violence: A Call for Change

Shehu Sani, a former Nigerian senator, has strongly criticized the recent statement made by the Kano monarch, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, regarding gender-based violence.

Sanusi had commented that women should “slap back” if slapped by their husbands, which has sparked widespread backlash.

Sani condemned this view, stating that such remarks could encourage domestic violence and should not be tolerated.

He emphasized that domestic violence, in any form, should be condemned, and leaders like Sanusi should promote respect and equality instead of normalizing abusive behavior.

Sani’s response highlights the importance of responsible leadership in addressing issues like domestic violence and gender equality.
