A video showing a National Youth Service (NYS) officer being flogged repeated by his superior has created a buzz on social media.

The one minute video captures an officer with a wooden cane viciously whipping and barking instructions at another officer as some of their colleagues look on.

All this happens as the assailant keeps telling his victim to roll in the mud and smear mud on his face.

“Jipake haraka, jipake kwa uso, wewe jipake uso vizuri sijaona kitu kwa macho, ulikuwa wapi,” the senior officer keeps saying as he metes out corporal punishment on his junior.

The video has been widely shared on social media although the circumstances around the incident remain unclear.

Nairobi News could also not verify when and where the incident happened.

The video has however left netizens questioning the senior officer’s brutal actions.
