Video: Viral Video Shows Nigerian Military Police Officer Assaulting Junior Colleague

A viral video has sparked outrage, appearing to show a Nigerian Military Police officer assaulting and publicly humiliating a junior soldier at a checkpoint in Borno State.

The nature of the humiliation, which involved aggressive questioning and physical manhandling in a public setting, has raised serious concerns about abuse of power and the breakdown of discipline within the ranks.
