Viral Video Triggers Outrage, Renews Calls Against Domestic Violence

A viral video showing a woman simply identified as Chisom with visible injuries on her face has triggered outrage across social media. Several Nigerians are now calling for greater protection for victims of domestic violence and stronger enforcement of existing laws.

The video footage, which has circulated widely on X and Instagram, shows the aftermath of an alleged assault by a man said to be her husband. Social media users have since shared details about Chisom’s background, claiming that she lost her mother at a young age and was separated from her father and siblings after being taken in by relatives.
