The video shared by rights activist, Chidi Odinkalu, on his Twitter handle on Tuesday said the governor had gone for a project inspection when the flogging incident took place.
Odinkalu captioned the video, “So, today in Ebonyi, #GovDaveUmahi went for a project inspection & then instructs the soldiers to flog – yes flog! – civil servants, who arrived late. Not done, Dave Umahi supervised the flogging. Tomorrow, he’ll be rewarded with seat in #NGRSenate.”
