Lagos Island residents who gathered to collect palliatives were given a few strokes of the cane alongside their free food.
Loaves of bread were given out to residents to cushion the effects of the current economic hardships in the country.
During the distribution, as residents queued up for the free bread, things got a bit rowdy and those in charge of the distribution began flogging people.
‘Hey, bread hundred Naira is the reason they are flogging people like this,” a voice is heard saying in the video.
The video was shared by politician and real estate developer Babatunde Gbadamosi.
Gbadamosi, a former Lagos State governorship candidate of the African Democratic Party, wrote: “The scenes you are witnessing in this video happened just a few days ago in Lagos Island.
“Lagos Island is the only LGA where the APC managed to win the highest number of votes allowed to be cast at the last elections.
“It is the headquarters of Yorùbá Ponú in the whole world. The people being beaten into line with canes over a loaf of bread are mostly Yorùbá Ponú APC voters.
“Political Choices have CONSEQUENCES.”
