A Nigerian pastor and his wife have sparked outrage after a video surfaced showing them disciplining a woman in church using a cane.
The incident reportedly occurred after the woman’s child was seen running around the premises during a church service, which led to her being punished in front of the congregation.
In the viral video, the pastor is seen holding a cane and flogging the woman as she cries out in pain.
After he finishes, the cane is passed to another woman, who is believed to be the pastor’s wife, and she continues the punishment.
The video quickly gained traction on X (formerly known as Twitter), where social media users have expressed their shock and disbelief.
Many are questioning the pastor’s actions and the appropriateness of physically disciplining an adult woman in such a public setting.
In the comment section, reactions were mixed. Some users condemned the act as a form of abuse, while others seemed to support the pastor’s approach, claiming it demonstrated discipline.
One user questioned the sanity of the situation, suggesting that the incident might be a skit or staged for attention.
The controversy has left many debating the extent to which religion and discipline should mix, with critics arguing that the incident crosses a line, while supporters defend the pastor’s actions as a form of enforcing order within the church.
This video has raised significant concerns about church practices and how they align with modern standards of treatment and respect for individuals.
