In the shocking video, the boy is seen beating his girlfriend in the presence of his friends, and the friends only made minimal efforts to stop him.
It was alleged that he beat her up after she told him she’s pregnant and he’s responsible for it.
More details have now emerged about the viral video.
One of the boys has been identified as Moses Chiuta.
Activist Ukan P. Kurugh, who said he spoke with the victim, claims Moses is the one who beat the girl.
Moses is an upcoming musician who calls himself King Marett The Entertainer on Facebook.
Nigerians have gone to his Facebook account to drop comments, condemning him for his actions.
A screenshot of a chat explaining why he beat her up has been shared.
“De gal lied abt carrying a bby 4 me… She end up telling me she aborted de bby .. She insult me 4 asking her… like I was very angry,” the chat from a person with a profile photo of Moses (King Marett) reads.
Another person who has been accused of being involved in the assault is one Jude Faga Junior. In the video, voices can be heard calling the attacker “Junior”. As a result, Nigerians have trooped to Jude Faga Junior’s Instagram account to call him out.
