He Must Be Arrested – Video of Lawyer Viciously Slapping His Girlfriend Causes Outrage Online
The police have been urged to arrest a lawyer who was caught in a disturbing video repeatedly assaulting his alleged girlfriend.
The incident happened in front of another friend.
It was gathered that the sad incident happened in Kenya.
In the video shared by Human Rights enthusiast Alvin Ang’ienda, the dreadlocked man identified as Raymond Nduga, said to be a lawyer, was captured repeatedly slapping the woman who is seated across him,
As his anger escalates, his girlfriend identified as Dorris Everlyne Tado, attempts to calm the situation but he hit her again, this time, backhanding her while yelling; “Leave here, Leave here!”
The woman kept saying “I‘ve been jealous.
I’ve been jealous” but the man slapped her again, repeating, “Leave this place! I’m done.”While it is not clear when the incident happened or what caused it. However, Kenyans on Facebook and X have slammed the man, calling for his arrest.
Lawyer Maxwell Wafula wrote, “That guy is a lawyer? I’m disappointed. I thought lawyers were supposed to untangle messes, not jump into the spaghetti bowl. You ever beat my sister like that, I’ll show up for a friendly conversation you won’t forget!”
Pauline Njoroge wrote: “Raymond Nduga cannot sleep in his house today, he must be arrested!!!! What justifies you as a man to beat a vulnerable woman, Doris Tado, then post it on Facebook and brag saying you are untouchable?”
“Nobody should beat a partner in this age and era. Watched that video of Raymond Nduga with emotions. Kenyans should boycott his business (if any), call for his arrest and prosecution. This is unwarranted. Good morning Kenyans,” Abuga Makori wrote.

The Forum of Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has decried the deplorable condition of some federal roads in Nigeria. Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the North-Central Chairman of the forum, said this in an interaction with newsmen on Wednesday in Jos. Zazzaga described some of the federal roads as ”death traps”, particularly those within the north-central region.
He said that some of the deplorable roads in the region include Jos-Akwanga, Makurdi-Oturkpo-Otukpa, Makurdi-Ankpa, and Jos-Saminaka. Other roads that needed urgent attention, he said, included Suleja-Minna, Ejule-Otukpa, Ganawuri-Manchok, Lokoja-Abuja, Lapai-Agaie-Bida, Birnin-Gwari-Bokani-Mokwa, Minna-Zungeru-Tegina-Kontagora. ”Currently, the north-central region has the most deplorable roads and highways in the country. ”These deplorable roads have brought severe hardship on the people and lost lives and property through preventable road traffic crashes. ”We call on President Bola Tinubu to intervene and ensure the rehabilitation of these roads because good roads are vital enablers of development,” he said. The chairman also called on governors of states within the region to reconstruct the dilapidated roads and seek refunds from the federal government. ”Though these are largely federal roads, they are located within states, and the beneficiaries are the people of these states. ”So we call on state governments to reconstruct these roads and seek refunds from the federal government,” he added.
