The United Nigerians Against Crimes (UNAC), a prominent civil society organization, has strongly condemned the alleged brutalization of a politician Alh. Abdulmajid Danbilki Komanda as captures in a viral video.
The video, which has sparked outrage online, reportedly shows individuals claiming to be security agents subjecting Komanda to severe physical abuse. UNAC believes these individuals may be affiliated with the Nigeria Police Force or the Department of State Services.
UNAC in a statement released on Friday, said it was “appalled” by the video’s content, which it said was a “flagrant violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.” UNAC emphasized that Komanda was exercising his right to criticize Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State and that no citizen should face retribution for such expression.
The group demanded immediate investigations by both the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of the Department of State Services. UNAC also urged Governor Sani to ensure that the alleged perpetrators present themselves for investigation within seven days. Failure to do so will prompt further action from UNAC, the nature of which remains unspecified.
“In the disturbing video, the victim is seen handcuffed, made to kneel down, and subjected to inhumane treatment. This deplorable act is a flagrant violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

“We are shocked that security agents could descend to such lows, using their authority to perpetrate heinous crimes. The Governor of Kaduna State is not above the law and cannot be shielded from criticism. Every citizen has the right to express their opinions and beliefs without fear of retribution.
“We demand an immediate investigation into this matter by the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of Department of State Services. We also urge the Governor of Kaduna State to produce those people or direct those involved to present themselves to security agents for investigation within seven days of this press release or face possible further actions to be taken by this organisation that he might not find palatable,” the statement reads.
Dr. Abdullahi Yunusa Bayawo, Director General of UNAC, emphasized the organization’s unwavering commitment to protecting citizens from such acts.
He declared that, “UNAC will not stand idly by while citizens are brutalised and intimidated by those who claim to uphold the law.”
The statement concludes with a call to action for all Nigerians to condemn the violence and demand justice for Komanda. UNAC further reiterated its dedication to combating impunity and holding perpetrators accountable, regardless of their position or affiliation.
