A man, Olamilekan Afeez, who retaliated after a policeman allegedly slapped his wife is now in police custody in Ondo State.
A viral video showed the moment the angry man confronted the policeman who was standing, holding a big stick on a road.
He can be heard in the video shouting in Yoruba: “O gba yawo mi leti. S’o ya were ni?” (You slapped my wife. Are you mad?)
A woman in hijab can be seen trying to restrain the man from going to the policeman.
But he breaks free and delivers a deafening slap on the face of the policeman.
The woman plants herself in the middle of the two men to de-escalate the situation. Others, including an elderly woman, can be seen trying to placate the two men.
The incident happened at Ago Jedi T junction.
Olamilekan Afeez, 30, was later arrested and put in custody by the Okeigbo Division of the police.
