ADC Condemns Police Disruption of ‘Tinubu Must Go’ Rally in Kano
The council said police violated constitutional rights and demanded the venue owner’s release after officers allegedly barricaded the event center and intimidated participants.
- On Sunday, the Kano State Police Command barricaded The Avenue Event Center, disrupting the 'Tinubu Must Go' rally. The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council condemned the police action as shameful and unconstitutional.
- Led by Barrister Abba Hikima, youths organized the gathering before police barricaded the venue and intimidated participants. Authorities reportedly arrested the owner of The Avenue Event Center for permitting the event.
- Director of Media and Publicity Kola Ologbondiyan argued the right to protest is guaranteed by the Constitution. He stated police cannot "barricade the anger and frustration of over 200 million people."
- Ologbondiyan urged the Inspector-General of Police to release the event center owner immediately. He questioned why the APC government prioritizes suppressing dissent over addressing insecurity and rising costs of living.
- The ADC appealed to human rights groups and the international community to monitor threats to democratic freedoms in Nigeria. They stand with Hikima and the youths demanding change despite police intimidation.
