A Nigerian military officer reportedly nabbed a man with his girlfriend and descended heavily on him.
A video circulating online shows the Nigerian military officer angrily assaulting the civilian with his belt while he pleads for mercy.
The white overall dress-wearing victim knelt while begging profusely but his pleas fell on deaf ears as the angry attacker continued to whip him even more.
Bystanders including a hijab-wearing lady believed to be in the centre of the incident are heard screaming and pleading with the young officer to cease lashing the victim but he wouldn’t have any of that.
He went on to hold the guy by the neck and attempted to raise and hit him on the hard ground before lifting a bucketful of water and pouring it on him.
The video has triggered a lot of angry reactions with many people condemning the abuse of power by some officers in uniform.
