Rise in Assaults in Nigeria: A Growing Concern

Reports of increased violence in Nigeria are growing. While specific statistics are hard to come by, anecdotal evidence from social media is pointing to a potential rise in assaults. One recent video shared widely on platforms like TikTok shows a man describing a physical altercation he was involved in. In the video, he states, "My belle dey beat me, I take concern you." This translates to, "My stomach is hurting me, I'm worried about you." The video highlights the emotional toll of such incidents, but lacks specifics on the location or perpetrators. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent of this trend and to offer support to victims.
