KADUNA: The Kaduna State Police Command has invited former Governor Nasir El-Rufai and six prominent leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over allegations of criminal conspiracy, incitement of public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous hurt.
In a letter signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (CID), Uzainu Abdullahi, the state ADC chairman was instructed to ensure that El-Rufai and the accused party members appear at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) on September 8, 2025.
Those summoned include Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed (popularly known as 30), Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini (aka Mikiya).
This Department is currently investigating the above-mentioned case involving members of your party. You are requested to come along with them to clarify allegations reported against them by the complainants,” the letter partly read.
Although the police did not disclose details of the petitions, the invitation is part of what authorities described as efforts to maintain peace and order in Kaduna State, which has been experiencing rising political and security tensions in recent months.
The development is expected to draw national attention, given El-Rufai’s controversial political profile and ongoing debates over his role in Kaduna’s governance and security record.
