 Kaduna Govt Distances Itself, Orders Investigation Into Viral Video Of Flogging Of Popular Politician For Criticizing Gov Uba Sani


The Kaduna state government has ordered an investigation into the viral video showing the brutalization of a popular politician known as Dan Balki Commander.


In the video, Danbalki Commander, a die-hard supporter of former President Buhari, is seen being beaten by plainclothes operatives who repeatedly asked him to stop criticizing Governor Uba Sani on his radio program.


A statement by Governor Sani’s spokesperson, Mohammed Shehu, on Thursday said the state government strongly disassociates itself from the heinous act and has ordered an investigation into the matter.


“The attention of the Kaduna State Government has been drawn to a video that has gone viral, showing Dan Balki Commander being whipped by unidentified persons. In the video, accusing fingers were pointed at the Kaduna State Government.


“The Kaduna State Government wishes to strongly disassociate itself from this heinous act. It is not in our character. Such barbaric acts have no place in a decent society.


“We stand for the rule of law and due process. Our administration is anchored on justice, equity, fairness, inclusivity, and respect for the dignity of the human person.


“Since assuming office in May 2023, the Kaduna State Government, under the able leadership of Senator Uba Sani, has been working assiduously to rebuild trust and give all citizens of the state a sense of belonging. We accommodate all shades of opinion and have created a conducive atmosphere for all political views to thrive.


“The Governor of Kaduna State is a longstanding fighter for fundamental rights and freedoms. He has never wavered in his commitment to the promotion and protection of civil rights, rule of law, and due process. He will not, under any circumstance, direct anyone to brutalize a person for holding a contrary opinion.


“His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani, has therefore ordered a full investigation into the alleged incident. He is determined to get to the root of the matter and will ensure that the full wrath of the law is brought to bear on anyone found culpable.”
