Bandits have reportedly subjected a kidnapped student in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, to a disturbing act of torture, sparking outrage after a video of the incident surfaced online.
In the trending footage, the armed men were seen moving around the tied victim with a burning cloth, which they allegedly used to inflict pain on the helpless student. The victim, whose eyes appeared to be covered, was seen restrained and unable to defend himself.
The graphic video has continued to circulate on social media, drawing condemnation from Nigerians who described the act as cruel and inhumane.
The incident adds to growing concerns over insecurity in parts of Oyo State, where recent attacks and abductions have left residents living in fear.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding the latest development as calls intensify for the safe rescue of all kidnapped victims and improved security in affected communities.
