In the video sighted by Lailas News, man who was dressed in the full uniform of the Nigerian Army could be seen whipping the woman in public.
The shocking incident occurred in Beere community of Ibadan, Oyo state, and many explained that the soldier beat her because of what he called ‘indecent’ dressing.

Following the public outcry, the soldiers have been arrested and taken to the barracks. This was disclosed on Twitter by the state Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Seun Fakorede.
He wrote;
”My ears are full with news of the unlawful activities of some Soldiers of the Nigerian Army, over the weekend.
I have immediately reached out to the Commandant of the Operation Burst and I’ve been assured that the men involved in this distasteful operation have been arrested and taken to the barracks — they will be dealt with accordingly.
This will not repeat itself again in Oyo State. Please, kindly go about your daily business and activities without fear. Thank you.”
