A yet-to-be-identified soldier, had on Saturday around 9:47 am at Oju-Ore in the Ota area of Ogun State, assaulted a young lady who was dressed in a manner he considered indecent.

The lady, who was dressed in a pair of shorts and white knitted coverup, was walking along the road when she was assaulted.

Sources said that the soldier, who was riding in a commercial bus, alighted from the bus and pounced on the young lady, unprovoked.

He reportedly 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 and 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.

Recall that 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.
