The four boys who were filmed assaulting a girl (who was a girlfriend of one of the boys) have finally been arrested, charged and remanded by the court.

Recall in March, 2020, a clip made the rounds on social media showing a boy mercilessly beating his girlfriend while his friends did little or nothing to stop him.

The video elicited massive outcry and criticism on social media and some celebrities swore they’d follow up the story and make sure the boys face the wrath of the law.
