A yet to be identified soldier of the Nigerian Army on Saturday assaulted a young lady over an alleged indecent dressing by his standards.
The controversial incident occurred about 9:47 am at the popular Oju-Ore, Ota area of Ogun State.
Eyewitnesses explained that the soldier alighted from a commuter bus and repeatedly slapped the lady without cause.

The victim who was dressed in a pair of shorts and white knitted coverup, was walking along the road when she was attacked by the soldier.
The lady tried to runaway after the soldier repeated slapped her, but he pulled her back by her long braids and tore off her blouse before attempting to pull off her bra.
In a video that has since gone viral, the soldier was only prevented from removing the lady’s bra by the intervention of passersby who begged him to let go of the lady.
The soldier immediately rejoined the commercial bus he was riding in and ordered the driver to drive off.

Recall that soldiers deployed to manage the #EndSARS protest on the streets of Beere in Ibadan, Oyo State, were also caught on camera assaulting a woman for what they believed was ‘indecent dressing’.
Also, Amnesty International had accused the Nigerian military of committing several acts of abuse on human rights including whipping, forced haircuts, and extrajudicial killings.
