A dramatic incident at a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp in Adamawa state has sparked widespread reactions after a soldier reportedly punished a first-class graduate for confronting him over a broken phone.

The incident was shared on the social-networking site, X by a netizen @Nifemi_Bill who revealed that the guy was his friend.

According to his friend, the graduate, who is a corps member, confronted the soldier after his phone was damaged. However, instead of addressing the issue, the soldier allegedly subjected him to disciplinary action, a common practice in military-controlled environments.

In a viral video circulating online, the graduate is seen sweating and visibly distressed under the scorching sun while assuming a squatting position, mimicking a motorcyclist without a bike.

This form of punishment is known to strain the back, legs, and hands, causing significant discomfort and weakness.

The video triggered massive reactions as social media users shared their thoughts via the comment section. Some reactions are shown below:

@theboytrenchkid said, “So what’s funny about getting bullied by someone who defaulted you? Also You’re a fool if that’s really your friend.”
