The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the assault of a female student at the Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa, following a viral video showing a group of female students physically attacking their colleague over allegations of boyfriend snatching.
In the footage widely circulated on social media on Wednesday, the victim was seen being flogged with long, thick canes by a group of girls, while others recorded the assault.
The attackers ignored pleas from bystanders and continued the beating, leaving the victim with visible injuries on her back and head. One of the assailants, identified only as Lolade, dismissed calls to stop, stating the assault was deliberate and intended as a warning. (Guardian)
