A video has shown the moment some residents in Lagos island, Lagos State were flogged while free pieces of bread was being handed out to them.
In the viral video, the people who gathered to collect the bread palliatives were flogged as they struggled to get morsels.
The bread is said to have been given out to the residents to cushion the effects of the current hunger and hardshipsin the country.
The hungry crowd, sadly, got impatient waiting on queues and surged forward during the distribution, prompting the organisers to whip them to restore order.
The person recording the video could be heard saying, “Hey, bread hundred Naira is the reason they are flogging people like this.”
