The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the assault of a female student at the Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa, following a viral video showing a group of female students physically attacking their colleague over allegations of boyfriend snatching.

In the footage widely circulated on social media on Wednesday, the victim was seen being flogged with long, thick canes by a group of girls, while others recorded the assault.

The attackers ignored pleas from bystanders and continued the beating, leaving the victim with visible injuries on her back and head. One of the assailants, identified only as Lolade, dismissed calls to stop, stating the assault was deliberate and intended as a warning.

In the video, the students also claimed their actions were sanctioned by their mothers and that they were not concerned about the consequences or any report made to school authorities or law enforcement.

Following public outrage, the Ogun State Police Command confirmed via its official X (formerly Twitter) account that the matter is under active investigation. The command stated that the Divisional Police Officer of Igbesa has taken charge of the case.

“The Ogun State Police Command is on top of the situation, and the DPO Igbesa has taken charge of the case,” the statement read.

The police have not yet confirmed the identities of all those involved in the assault or whether any arrests have been made. Efforts are ongoing to locate and question the individuals seen in the video, as well as to gather statements from witnesses and the victim.

Authorities assured the public that justice would be served and warned that acts of jungle justice and public assault would not be tolerated under any circumstances.
