The Cease And Desist Letter For Harassment is a crucial legal instrument within the Nigerian legal framework, designed to address and stop harassment situations before they escalate to court proceedings. This document is typically used when there is documented evidence of harassment, whether in workplace, personal, or professional contexts, and the victim seeks to formally demand the cessation of such behavior. The letter must comply with Nigerian legal requirements and cite relevant legislation such as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015, and where applicable, state-specific laws. It serves as both a formal warning and a potential piece of evidence should further legal action become necessary. The document is particularly effective in cases where there is a clear pattern of harassment and the sender wishes to create a formal record of having demanded its cessation before pursuing more aggressive legal remedies.
