Private Legal Practitioner, Godfred Anim Nyarko has said that, the law permits the use of violence to defend oneself in some situations.
According to him, it is not right to choose violence, but it is needed for protection.
“Generally, I will say it is not right to choose violence but in certain situations the law permits you to defend yourself using violence either physical or in any way like verbal. So, you can protect yourself, property and your spouse using violence”, he stated.
He however added that, violence is sometimes the best option for protection.
“Sometimes it’s allowed. As I said, Sometimes it’s even the best option. Sometimes it is the best option looking at the situation you find yourself in to defend yourself”, he said.
