The Nasarawa State Police Command is investigating a case of the physical abuse of a young lady seen in viral videos being beaten and having her cloth cut with scissors.

The videos were posted by a tweep, Agatha Akaahar, who revealed that the incident had escalated from a fight between the victim and her friend over a phone number.

Our correspondent who observed the video saw the yet-to-be-identified lady being flogged by two men and two ladies, while the recording took place.

In the video, a male voice was heard asking one of the ladies to flog the victim.
