The Kaduna State Police Command has summoned the former governor of the state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and six others suspected to be members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over alleged Criminal conspiracy.
This was contained in a letter issued on Thursday by the state’s Deputy Commissioner of Police for Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Uzairu Abdullahi.
El-Rufai and the six other ADC members were also accused of inciting disturbance of public peace and causing grievous hurt.
They are directed to appear before the SCID on the 8th of September to clarify the allegations against them.
“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.” The letter partly read.
This is coming just a week after a group of suspected political thugs stormed a meeting purportedly organized by the ADC and a faction of the state’s Social Democratic Party (SDP) loyal to El-Rufai.
The armed thugs had invaded the gathering, leaving many injured.
Sequel to the attack, the Police had blamed El-Rufai and organizers of the event who, according to the police, had defied warnings against holding the event.
El-Rufai had in reaction accused the Kaduna State Government of being responsible for the attack.
