A yet-to-be-identified man believed to be a pastor and an unidentified married woman were stripped naked in Iguomon Community Benin, Edo for alleged infidelity.
The public humiliation was caught in a video that has gone viral on Monday.
Some of those who witnessed the scene confirmed that the said pastor had been having an illicit affair with the woman before they were eventually caught.
Angry youths reportedly descended on the pair, dragged them out of a house, stripped the pastor completely naked, and sat him on the bare floor. The woman was also dragged out, taunted, and later stripped naked by a lady in the mob.
The incident attracted a large crowd, with some residents recording the spectacle on their mobile phones.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Edo State Police Command, Moses Yamu, told journalists on Monday that the matter had not been reported to the police as he would not comment based on a viral video.
“The matter has not been brought to the attention of the police yet. I can’t say anything based on a viral video,” he said.
