A public confrontation has sparked reactions online after a Nigerian man was reportedly seen confronting his girlfriend at a market and retrieving items he allegedly bought for her.

In a video circulating on social media, the man was seen taking the bag she was carrying before removing a mobile phone he reportedly purchased for her. He also allegedly demanded the wig she was wearing, claiming that he had paid for it.

The incident attracted the attention of traders and other market visitors, with some men reportedly attempting to intervene as the confrontation intensified.
