In the first video a woman alleges that she left her child at home and went to buy food. A man approached her on her way back and asked her to name her price. She told the man that she was married, but the man asked her if she didn’t need money and asked how much it would cost to touch her breast. She rebuffed the man at which point she alleges that the man’s boys slapped her. She said that other people in the area grew angry and challenged the man and his boys, but the man later brought some policemen to protect himself.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) tweeted.

The woman later made another video in which she said that she misquoted the man, that he only complimented her and that it was the man’s boys that slapped her, not the man himself. The DSVA deleted its tweet and the spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Ben Hundeyin tweeted this.

For those advising us to take the case up, what advice would you give in the light of this new video? Do not forget that if we still go ahead to press charges and this lady repeats the content of this new video in court, there is no case.
The demoralization we often face 🤦♂️.

Oga Ben, this was when she was invited to d station and was told to go do a damage control. If you investigate well, she made the video you posted under intimidation.Also, tone of investigating officer is unfriendly & a sign of intimidation and harassment.
