Security operatives from the Kaduna State Police Command on Thursday, September 4, sealed off the African Democratic Congress (ADC) office located at No. 4 Ali Akilu Road, Kaduna, SaharaReporters reported.
According to SaharaReporters, the action came just hours before the Northwest leadership of the ADC was scheduled to visit the state chapter on a commiseration mission.
The visit was meant to sympathise with members who were brutally attacked by political thugs last week.
According to eyewitnesses, several police patrol vans were deployed around the premises in what appeared to be a coordinated effort to block access to the opposition party’s office.
A source told SaharaReporters, “The leadership of ADC in Kaduna State is expected to receive the North-West leadership of the ADC on a commiseration visit following last week’s attack on its members by some political thugs.”
Last week, SaharaReporters reported how a group of thugs reportedly hired by the state government attacked the transition meeting of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the ADC in Kaduna town, injuring several persons.
Meanwhile, Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has been summoned by the Kaduna State Police Command alongside several African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders for questioning over allegations of criminal conspiracy, incitement of public unrest, mischief, and inflicting grievous harm.
A letter dated September 4, 2025, signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (CID) Uzainu Abdullahi, directed the state chairman of the ADC to present El-Rufai and six other party members at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) on September 8.
The individuals listed include Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed (popularly known as “30”), Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini (also called “Mikiya”).
According to the police, the invitation follows complaints lodged against the politicians. The letter titled Investigation Activities: Case of Criminal Conspiracy, Inciting Disturbance of Public Peace, Mischief and Causing Grievous Hurt reads:
“This Department is currently investigating the above mentioned case involving the following members of your party. You are requested to come along with them to SCID to clarify allegations reported against them by the complainants on 8th September, 2025.
“Mal. Nasir El-Rufa’i, Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed, aka 30, Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini, aka Mikiya.”
