The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has asked the public for help identifying a lady seen in a viral video slapping a baby for urinating on the floor.
The agency criticised the crime in a Saturday post on its verified X handle @Lagosdsva, urging the public to assist in locating the woman.
In the video which went viral on Saturday, the woman was seen beating the baby with a rod while disregarding the child’s cries.
The woman also shoved the baby to the ground, stepping on his stomach with her two legs.
It cannot be ascertained if the perpetrator in the video is the mother of the child or a maid.
In response to the video, DSVA urged the public to reach out if they have any information regarding the incident’s location or the person involved.
The agency wrote, “Trigger warning. Our attention has been drawn to the video.
“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.”
