A shocking video is currently making waves on social media, showing a Nigerian pastor and his wife flogging a woman in church for allegedly allowing her child to roam around during service. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Church Discipline or Abuse?
The viral clip, first shared on X (formerly Twitter), captures the disturbing moment the pastor, armed with a cane, repeatedly beats the woman while she cries out in pain. If that wasn’t shocking enough, he then hands the cane to his wife, who continues the flogging in front of the congregation.
The bizarre incident has sparked outrage online, with many Nigerians questioning how a grown woman could be subjected to such treatment in a place of worship.
Social Media Reactions
The video has triggered a flood of reactions, with people expressing disbelief and anger:
🔥 @neyenwa_: “So, because a child was playing, the pastor thought flogging an adult was the solution? Madness!”
😂 @DrMel_: “Join crazy churches, experience crazy situations. They said they’ll flog you, and you actually stretched out your hand? LOL.”
😡 @ogunmowola: “Wait, the pastor AND his wife flogged her? A grown woman? It better be a skit because this is insane!”
❤️ @Odebunmi_Mide: “Very good pastor💯! I love this church. Very disciplined ❤️ But what is that on mama’s head though? 🤔”
Where Do We Draw the Line?
This incident raises a bigger question about religious authority and abuse in some Nigerian churches. While discipline is encouraged, should pastors have the right to physically punish their members?
What do you think? Was the pastor justified, or is this a complete abuse of power?
