A Nigerian police officer has sparked widespread online outrage after being allegedly caught on camera assaulting a married woman in front of her husband during a road dispute.
The shocking incident was captured in a video that was shared across the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the viral footage, the officer is seen engaging in a confrontation with the woman, who is described as being married in the video caption.
As the altercation intensifies, the woman’s daughter intervenes, grabbing the officer’s clothing along with her mother, trying to prevent him from leaving the scene.
The video has gone viral, sparking intense reactions from viewers, many of whom have flooded the comment section with their strong disapproval of the officer’s actions.
