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.

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.
