Amnesty International calls for an immediate and thorough investigation into a viral video that allegedly shows Borno State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development Sainna Buba threatening people over political support. The allegations include threats of violence against voters and supporters of opposition parties.
Both outlets report that Amnesty tells security agencies to act on the matter, citing the need to verify what was said and ensure accountability if wrongdoing occurred. Legit.ng adds that the alleged remarks are directed at those who will not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), while the Daily Post Nigeria frames the threats more broadly as targeting opposition supporters and voters who do not back the commissioner’s party.
The reports do not indicate the commissioner’s response or the outcome of any investigation, and they do not provide confirmed details beyond the content of the viral video. The emphasis across coverage is on Amnesty’s request that authorities investigate the allegation and address potential violations of rights.
