The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspects for assaulting a salesgirl in Lagos.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Monday.
He stated, “Three suspects have been arrested for beating and brutalising a salesgirl in Lagos. The Lagos State Police Command has been on top of the matter, and justice must be served. Thank you all.”
The incident, captured in a video that went viral on social media on Sunday, showed four men whipping the woman as she writhed on the ground inside a boutique opposite Tantalizers on Lagos Island.
The video caption alleged that the salesgirl was accused of stealing from her employer, the boutique owner, who reportedly instructed unidentified men to flog her as punishment.
