Nigerian Politician Chris Uba Caught on Camera Assaulting Artisan Over Payment Dispute

Chris Uba, Nigerian Politician, Physically Assaults Artisan Demanding Payment for Completed Work

A video surfaced on Monday showing Chris Uba, a prominent Nigerian politician from Anambra State, physically assaulting an artisan at his London residence.

The 36-second footage, obtained by SaharaReporters, captures a heated confrontation between Uba and the artisan, who had completed work at Uba’s home. The conflict arose when the artisan, a foreign national, requested payment for his services.

In the video, Uba, known as a former political heavyweight, is seen demanding that the workers leave his property, insisting he owes them nothing. The situation escalates as the artisan tries to explain the situation, only to be met with aggression from Uba, who dismisses his claims and disparages him.

A voice in the background can be heard accusing Uba of refusing to pay, warning, “The police are going to see that if you don’t want to pay money.” Uba responds dismissively, calling the individual filming the incident a “fool” and a “criminal,” and appears to assault the person recording the video.

This incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning the alleged behavior of the politician. The video has brought renewed attention to issues of accountability and respect for workers’ rights, particularly in situations involving powerful individuals.

Chris Uba has yet to make a public statement regarding the incident, and it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to the allegations.
