The Commander proclaimed that the governor was responsible for sending individuals to physically harm him while he shared his unpleasant experience.
Governor Uba Sani dispatched them to assault me. I am familiar with a few of the attackers and aware of where they procured the handcuffs. My hands and back exhibit proof in their bumps and abrasions.
He recounted, “It was a group of police officers who carried out the deed under the direction of Uba Sani. Threats were made to end my life and dispose of me in water. They filmed themselves inflicting physical harm and degradation upon me causing unimaginable humiliation.”
