Ekpoma Boys Accused of Humiliating Bike Man, Forcing Him to Brush Over Alleged Bad Breath

Ekpoma Boys Stir Controversy After Giving Bike Rider Toothbrush and Water Over Alleged Bad Breath in Edo State

In the video circulating on social media, the bike man, who is identified as a Hausa man from the Northern region of Nigeria, was stopped, only to be offered a toothbrush and a sachet of water.

Many netizens flooded the comment section to applaud the act, while others condemned it as unnecessary and belittling.
