In the disturbing viral video, shared on Instagram by Gbenga Adeyinka, Nigerian comedian, the woman is seen flogging the shirtless boy with what appeared to be a belt.

“You think I’m joking with you abi? You think you have power,” she asked as she whipped him severely with the belt.

“Enter inside there, let me hear pim, enter inside there,” she said as she forced him into the cage, locked it and walked away presumably into the house.
