A video circulating on social media shows an assault on Abdulmajeed Danbilki Kwamnada, a figure in the APC from Kano state.
Known for his criticism of politicians on Kano local radio stations and across northern states, Danbilki, also called Kwamnada, was confronted by unidentified individuals in the footage.
In the video, Danbilki is handcuffed and interrogated about alleged insults directed at the Kaduna state governor, Malam Uba Sani.
He denied the accusation, stating, “I don’t insult the governor,” and clarified that he hails from Kano, emphasizing his northern and Nigerian identity.
Despite his explanations, the assailants proceeded to assault him. Danbilki, who mentioned health issues during the incident, pleaded with them to stop.
The assault has sparked condemnation, including from those who have previously disagreed with Danbilki’s views. Calls have been made for human rights organizations to intervene.
