dc.description.abstractIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex social problem, a major global concern, and an obstacle to good family relationship in the developing regions of the world, including Africa. Generally, IPV occurs in the private sphere of the family and poses serious risks to men in recent times. This study was prompted by the paucity of data to address the growing problem of IPV in Nigeria, particularly the narrow focus on men's experiences in the current state of knowledge. Thus this study examined the intimate partner violence against men in Kwara Central Nigeria. The study utilized quantitative research method and adopts a descriptive survey using a structured questionnaire. Cluster and simple random sampling techniques were used for the selection of the respondents. Sample sizes of 400 married men we randomly selected for the study. The Yamane's statistical formula was adopted to determine the exact number of questionnaire that was uned for the study. The data collected were statistically analyzed using simple percentages. The findings revealed that factors such as economic instablity, infidelity, sexual incompatibility, poor marital communication and marital interference are the major factors responsible for IPV against men in Kwara Central Nigeria. It was also revealed that emotional distress, divorce or separation, injuries and death are the implications of IPV against men. The study recommends counseling for intending couples, sensitization of couples on the danger of IPV, strict punishment for IPV offender and reportage of any case of IPV against men to the authorities
