The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a woman who whipped and cuffed children for playing football into her compound.
This was followed by the outrage caused by the viral video showing her assaulting three kids.
Confirming the arrest of the yet-to-be-identifide woman, the command Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said the woman was being prosecuted.
The video shared on X, formerly Twitter, Friday, saw the lady first whip the boys while threatening to have them arrested.
“Do you want me to have you arrested, lay down and take your hand off,’ she ordered as the boy being beaten pleaded for her to stop as he had only recently recovered from an ailment.
She proceeded to have them sit in a puddle before all three boys were eventually handcuffed and led away.
The incident, according to the X user who posted the video, took place in Sango Ota, Ogun State.
