However, the recorder of the video kept saying, “We have done work for him; the whole house—Suliman—he is trying to beat him. He is a hard man. Are you a hard man here? Are you a tough man? Tough man, the police is going to see that if you don’t want to pay money.”
The Nigerian politician then replied, “You are too small,” before charging at the man videoing the incident and appearing to have assaulted him.
A wealthy member of the powerful Uba political family, Chris Uba is an iconic example of the “godfather” phenomenon in Nigeria.
