The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kebbi State Chapter, has condemned the recent killing of police officers and civilians by armed assailants in Zogirma village, Bunza Local Government Area, describing the attack as gruesome and unacceptable.
In a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary in Kebbi, Abubakar Atiku, the ADC, expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims and the entire Zogirma community.
The party lamented that the attack occurred at a time when residents of the area are living in fear and desperately seeking government protection. It accused the Kebbi State Government of insensitivity, alleging that while communities cry out for help, political leaders are preoccupied with parties and political meetings aimed at retaining power in 2027.

“The ADC strongly condemns this culture of neglect, indifference, and insensitivity towards the lives and welfare of ordinary citizens,” the statement said. “This tragic event further proves that many in leadership have forgotten their core responsibility to protect lives and improve the well-being of the people.”
The party called on the state government to act swiftly to restore law and order in Zogirma and other affected communities. It also demanded compensation for the families of the victims and the implementation of serious security measures to prevent further attacks.
“The lives of our citizens must come first, above all political interests,” the ADC added.
In the meantime, the people of Junju/Fada community in Birnin Kebbi, birthplace of the coalition-led African Democratic Congress (ADC) leader and former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, have distanced themselves from him and pledged their full support to Governor Nasir Idris.
The position of the community was made known during a solidarity visit to Governor Idris at Government House, Birnin Kebbi.
