History
Yaba Psychiatric Hospital was established in Lagos in 1907 as Yaba Asylum. Mental health care was provided by general medical officers before the emergence of mental health professionals. In the present day, psychiatrists and psychologists oversee custodial interventions.[2][3][4][5] [6][7][8][9]
