Outrage Over Assault On Female Nigerian Boutique Employee (Video)

A shocking incident involving the owner of Don Maserati Classic Boutique on Lagos Island has sparked outrage online after a female employee accused of theft was subjected to a brutal assault.

A video that went viral on the social media platform X depicts the employee lying on the floor as multiple men take turns flogging her with canes, while others stand idly by, watching without intervening. The video has left viewers horrified, with many condemning the inhumane treatment and calling for justice.

The video showed a disturbing scene where the female boutique employee was relentlessly beaten with sticks by men who showed no restraint in the assault. The severity of the flogging and the lack of intervention from bystanders have sparked widespread condemnation from Nigerians, who argue that even if the accusation of theft were true, such actions are barbaric and unlawful.

The incident has drawn strong reactions from citizens and activists, who took to X to express their outrage. Many emphasized that the law should have been allowed to take its course rather than resorting to mob justice. Below are some of the notable responses:

@dammygtnet criticized the abuse of power, saying, “I say it again, the average opportunist in Nigeria is a bully! @PoliceNG, @followlasg, over to you!”

@JacobAmeh6 stated, “Unacceptable! No matter what she did, don’t take laws into your hands. Besides, she’s a lady. And all these ones call themselves men?”

@TheoAbuAgada described the act as inhumane, adding, “If an employee steals from you, the right thing to do is report her to the authorities, not take the law into your own hands. This should be condemned by all.”

Others, like @Updateboyx and @ProBolly, tagged law enforcement agencies, urging swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Many emphasized the importance of due process, with users like @adole007 stating, “Can people just stop taking the laws into their hands? We have police for a reason. Let them do their job.” Others demanded the arrest and prosecution of those involved, including the boutique owner.

@bigmorsh noted, “Aside from the mindless flogging of this fragile lady, they were so confident that they even made a video. Mop them all.”

Several users directed their concerns to official channels, tagging the Nigerian Police Force and other relevant authorities. Some urged the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (@Lagosdsva) to intervene.

This assault on the female boutique employee shows the urgent need to stop mob justice and the abuse of power in society. Theft is a serious crime, but taking the law into your own hands is wrong and cruel. People are urging law enforcement to act quickly, punish those involved, and prevent such acts from happening again.
