The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) appeals to the public to assist in finding a woman captured in a video assaulting a baby.
The agency strongly condemned the behaviour in a post shared on its verified X handle @LSdsva on Saturday, urging individuals to come forward with any information that could help locate the woman.
The viral video showed the woman using a rod to beat the baby for urinating on the floor while disregarding the child’s cries.
She proceeded to push the baby to the ground and even stepped on the infant’s stomach with both legs.
The Lagos DSVA, in response to the disturbing footage, encouraged the public to reach out to the agency if they had any details regarding the location of the incident.
“Trigger warning. Our attention has been drawn to the video. It cannot be ascertained if the perpetrator in the video is the mother of the child or a maid.
“Anyone with information about the person involved or the location, kindly send us a DM or call our Toll Free Line – 08000333333 to make a report,” it wrote.
While the video caused severe outrage on social media, some users condemned the cameraman for capturing the gruesome act without action.
