A video showing Nigerian politician Chris Uba allegedly assaulting artisans at his London home has surfaced online.

The video depicts an argument between Uba and a foreign artisan who claims his team was not paid for completed work. Uba orders them to leave, denying any debt and calling them criminals.

The artisan behind the camera accuses Uba of refusing to pay and threatening them.

Uba's response, captured on video, includes verbal abuse and physical aggression towards the person filming. The video ends with Uba charging at the cameraman.

This incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning Uba's actions. Comments range from calling him a "tout" and "thug" to predicting his arrest, similar to another Nigerian politician, Ike Ekweremadu, who was imprisoned in the UK. Critics highlight the prevalent issue of Nigerian elites mistreating workers and the need for accountability.

One user noted, "Him think sey na Naija him dey," while another commented, "PRISON AWAITS HIM." There were also remarks about Uba's aggressive behavior and warnings about the consequences in the UK, a country with a stricter legal system than Nigeria.

The video has intensified discussions about the behavior of Nigerian politicians abroad and their impact on Nigeria's image. Many are calling for justice and urging authorities to investigate and hold Uba accountable.
