Heartbreaking video of a boy begging for mercy as he’s punished with electric shocks

The public has expressed outrage over a heartbreaking video that captured the moment a boy was being brutally tortured using electric shocks.

The boy who seemed to be receiving punishment for an unknown offence was tied to a makeshift metal cross by a man who used an electric welding equipment against the metal as the boy foamed in the mouth and begged for mercy.

The man continuously used the the electric equipment across the metal, causing the boy to convulse at each shock.

The boy is heard saying “walahi” and some other muffled words as he begs for his life. Others in the scene watch the brutal torture without trying to help. Some are seen laughing, while others were filming.

It is not clear where this torture took place but Nigerians are circulating the video and asking for help to locate the perpetrator and also rescue the victim.
