The Kaduna state police command has summoned former governor Nasir el-Rufai for questioning over allegations of “criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance of public peace, mischief and causing grievous hurt.”
In a letter dated September 4 and addressed to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairman in Kaduna, the police also listed six other party members: Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed, Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini.
“This department is currently investigating the above-mentioned case involving the following members of your party,” the letter said. “You are requested to come along with them to SCID to clarify allegations reported against them by the complainants on 8th September, 2025.”
The development follows violence at the ADC transition committee inauguration in Kaduna last Saturday, when suspected thugs armed with cutlasses, clubs and stones attacked participants, injuring several and damaging vehicles.
Police later sealed the ADC secretariat, with command spokesperson Mansir Hassan saying the event was held without “prior notification” to security agencies despite “repeated warnings.”
Afterwards, the ADC accused the Kaduna police of attempting to criminalise opposition politics.
