What is Assault and Battery in Nigerian Law about?

Assault and battery are intentional torts in civil law aimed at compensating victims, while in criminal law, they serve to punish offenders and maintain public order. The key differences include the intent requirement, standards of proof, and consequences, with tort law focusing on compensation and criminal law on punishment. In Nigeria, these distinctions are similarly recognized, with specific legal frameworks governing their application in both civil and criminal contexts.
