In the video, Oseko is seen receiving not one but two canes from the Chinese manager as his colleagues watched from a distance, while others laugh at the development.

The youthful waiter is then heard pleading with the boss to administer the canes fast enough so that he can be done with it sooner. The boss then goes ahead to hit the helpless waiter on his ribs and the waiter is seen wreathing in pain.
Oseko reported the incident at Kileleshwa Police Station where he obtained a P3 form and authorities are said to have taken up the matter to investigate, the news website reported
