The Kaduna State Police Command has summoned the former state governor, Mr Nasir El-Rufai and six members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for questioning over alleged criminal misconduct in the state.
The invitation was contained in a letter entitled ‘Investigation activities: Case of criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance of public peace, mischief and causing grievous hurt’ dated September 4, 2025, and signed by the deputy commissioner of police in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Mr Uzainu Abdullahi.
The letter 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 September 8, 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.”
According to the letter, El-Rufai and the others are expected to report to state CID on September 8.
Although the details of the complaints were not disclosed, the police maintained that the move was part of efforts to sustain public peace and order in Kaduna State.
Recall that the police had on Wednesday sealed off the ADC Party Secretariat at No. 4 Ali Akilu Road, Kaduna, hours before the northwest leadership of the party was scheduled to visit the state chapter on a commiseration mission.
According to sources, the visit was intended to sympathise with members injured when political thugs attacked a coalition meeting of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the ADC in Kaduna recently.
