The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three men for allegedly assisting a female worker.
A viral video had shown the sales girl being brutalised with canes.
The sales girl was ordered to lie down flat as some men suspected to be the owners of the shop she was working, were severely beating her.
It was alleged that the lady stole some goods in the shop.
The video has attracted condemnation from Nigerians who viewed the punishment as excessive and unlawful.
Meanwhile, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Monday, confirmed that three men have been arrested in connection with the brutality.
He assured citizens that the suspects would be prosecuted and that justice would be served.
“Three suspects have been arrested for beating and brutalising a sales girl in lagos. The Lagos state police command has been on top of the matter, and justice must be served. Thanks to you all,” Adejobi stated.
