The statement read,’’ The attention of the Kaduna State Government has been drawn to a video that has gone viral showing one Dan Balki Commander being whipped by unidentified persons. In the video, accusing fingers were pointed at the Kaduna State Government.

We accommodate all shades of opinion and have created a conducive atmosphere for all political views to thrive.’’
