There are two disgusting videos in this story:

-----------------------

I. One soldier flogged a woman in public, and others shaved men on the streets using scissors.

A shocking video recording shows a woman forced to sit on a bare floor by a soldier who repeatedly whipped her buttock with what seemed like a leather belt.

The woman wore a camisole and an orange hair, and despite begging repeatedly, the soldier continued to assault her until the end of the 41 seconds’ video as onlookers stood nearby.

As he flogged, the soldier repeatedly ordered the helpless woman to “remove your hand”.

Residents told PREMIUM TIMES the woman was beaten by the uniformed personnel for “indecent dressing”.

II. One of the youth, whose head was shaved by the soldiers, narrated his travails on Twitter. He disclosed that he was forced to alight from a motorcycle.

“I was on a motorcycle with my friends around Beere when I was stopped by soldiers. They said they wanted to see us. I was wondering what I had done because I wasn’t in possession of any weapon and I am not a fraudster,” he said.

“They said I should take off my cap and when I did so, they flogged me and asked me to kneel down. When I asked what my crime was, he ordered me to sit down and then brought out a pair of scissors from his pocket. The funny thing was that they collected money from us for the haircut, he said speaking in Yoruba in another video.
