The video in the X post depicts a disturbing scene of domestic violence in Ilese, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, where a man is seen severely beating his wife over allegations of infidelity, highlighting a severe breach of human rights and the urgent need for intervention in such cases.

This incident aligns with broader trends in Nigeria, where domestic violence is reported as the second most common legal problem, affecting 81% of the population annually, according to the 2023 Justice Needs and Satisfaction Survey by HiiL, underscoring the systemic nature of the issue.
