The victim, known as @ajike123_ on TikTok, posted a video showing visible injuries from the attack. In the clip, she questioned the man’s actions:

“Is it by force? You called me and I didn’t respond, so you decided to beat me with a cane. What did I do wrong?”

In the caption, she condemned the mentality behind the assault, writing: “I don’t understand why some men act so stupid and senseless. Just because a woman doesn’t answer your call, you think it’s okay to beat and insult her? Let my experience serve as a warning.”

The video has since sparked outrage online, with many users flooding the comments to condemn the violence and show their support.
