A Nigerian man beat his girlfriend to death after she said no to his public marriage proposal. The video below, which has since gone viral, shows what happened.
It is said that the event took place in the parking lot of the hostel at the University of Benin.
As she turned down his offer, she was heard saying, “I can’t accept your proposal.” ‘How can you tell me no; no for what?’ exclaimed the deeply embarrassed man, who then became enraged.
The man’s action attracted several comments from Nigerian social media users, most of whom condemn his actions.
Alaoma Joseph, the man in the video, made a public statement the next day saying that the video was just a joke and that he is not and never will be a "woman beater." This was after he got a lot of backlash from people on the internet, including Nigerian celebrities.
Joseph said:
“I am not a woman beater, the video was just a publicity stunt for the English and Literature Students Association stage play.”
