A soldier, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, on Saturday, assaulted a young lady who was dressed in a manner he considered indecent.
The incident happened around 9:47 am at Oju-Ore in the Ota area of Ogun State.
The lady, who was clad in a pair of shorts and white knitted
coverup, was trekking on the road when she was assaulted.
Eyewitnesses disclosed that the soldier, who was riding
in a commercial bus, alighted from the bus and pounced on the young lady,
unprovoked.
Eyewitnesses reported that he slapped the young lady
repeatedly and when the shocked lady attempted to run away from the unprovoked
assault, he pulled her back violently with her braided long hair.
The soldier was caught on video yanking off the young lady’s
blouse and had also wanted to take off her bra when passersby intervened.
I hate this country so much.

How can someone being treated like a human being be so fucking hard. I’m so mad. This soldier got out from the bus he was in to drag this girl on the road and start beating her. He slapped her, dragged her hair, all because of how she was dressed😭😭 pic.twitter.com/39sK9CCSr1
They begged him repeatedly before he let go of the lady.
He then joined the commercial bus he was riding in and the
driver drove off.
Efforts to reach the spokesman for 81 Division of the
Nigerian Army, Major Olaniyi Osoba, for comments proved abortive on Saturday as
his line was switched off as of the time of filing this report.
Last month, soldiers deployed in the streets of Beere in
Ibadan, Oyo State, to curb the #EndSARS protests were also caught on camera
flogging a woman for what they termed ‘indecent dressing’.
Rights group, Amnesty International, has accused the
Nigerian military of committing several acts of abuse some of which include
whipping, forced haircuts, and sometimes, extrajudicial killings.
