Police summon El-Rufai, 7 other ADC leaders for questioning
The police investigation targets El-Rufai and seven African Democratic Congress leaders following alleged violence and unrest at a recent political meeting, aiming to uphold public peace.
- On September 4, 2025, the police department in Kaduna State issued an invitation for former Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai and seven leaders of the African Democratic Congress to appear for questioning related to several allegations.
- The summons came in the wake of last week's assault by political thugs on a joint gathering of the Social Democratic Party and ADC, during which several participants sustained injuries.
- El-Rufai denied plotting violence and accused the current government of trying to silence opposition amid heated exchanges with state officials.
- Deputy Commissioner Uzainu Abdullahi signed a letter summoning the individuals to appear on September 8 at the police’s Criminal Investigation Department office to address the allegations made by the complainants, while analyst Hassan Lawal emphasized that "Nobody is above the law."
- The summons risks deepening Kaduna’s political divides and reflects the worsening relationship between El-Rufai and the state government amid rising tensions.
