  "summary": "A video showing a man repeatedly beating a toddler with a charger cable has sparked outrage across Nigeria. The disturbing footage, shared on X by @NigeriaStories, depicts the man flogging the child across the head and body, causing her to cry out in distress. The man can be heard speaking aggressively to the child, telling her \"Ori ẹ o ma pe,\" a slang expression meaning \"knocking sense into someone.\" The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has condemned the act and pledged to identify, locate, and prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law. They have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in their investigation.",
