A Nigerian woman residing in Delta State has come forward with a disturbing allegation that she was physically assaulted by a soldier simply because she wore a short skirt.
The allegation was made public via a TikTok post by a user identified as babygift82, who also claimed to be the victim in question. The post included video evidence showing visible bruises and injuries, which she said were the result of the soldier's actions.
In the viral video clip shared on her profile, she expressed her shock and frustration over the incident, captioning the post with the words: “Soldier why? Na only me dey wear short things for this life?”—a statement that has since stirred strong emotional reactions online.
Additional videos on her page show more graphic images of her injuries and swelling, reinforcing her claim that the beating was severe and unprovoked. These posts quickly went viral, drawing attention from a wide range of social media users.
Many who came across the videos expressed outrage and called for immediate action against the soldier involved. The videos prompted widespread condemnation, with thousands commenting in support of the woman and demanding justice.
Despite the public uproar, no official response has yet been issued by the Nigerian Army or any relevant authorities concerning the allegations. Many Nigerians are now urging military officials and human rights organizations to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Below are some of the reactions from viewers who were shocked by the content of the video:
