Under the Nigerian Law of Contract, where a party enters into a contract as a direct result of actual physical violence or a threat of physical violence to their person, what is the legal status of the contract?

Duress to the person, involving actual or threatened physical violence, renders a contract voidable at the option of the innocent party rather than completely void ab initio. The coerced party has the legal right to affirm or repudiate the contract upon the removal of the threat.
