Murtala Abbas, 18, of Katsina State was detained while carrying two sharp sickles. Hassan Ibrahim, 20, of Tunga was detained with two locally produced weapons, a police T-shirt, and illegal substances.

He admitted that a vigilante group called “Sadiq” had given him a gun and malfunctioning walkie-talkies.

Bashir Abubakar, 28, was detained by police on September 27th for attempting to defraud at the Kontagora market.

He allegedly attempted to exchange a bag containing paper cuttings for $5000 worth of phones and other accessories. He was linked to a previous fraud in August that involved 240 000 stolen phones and an abandoned motorcycle.

Salihu Lukman, the former North-West Vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned that the coalition party’s current leadership, in addition to the APC, cannot defeat the ruling APC in Kaduna State.

Lukman, a former governor of Kaduna State, requested that Nasir El-Rufa’i and his men retrace their steps and band together with other ADC members.

Lukman claimed in a statement to mark Nigeria’s 65th anniversary that the ADC in Kaduna State is only building a party whose business is based solely on producing candidates rather than working to create the party.

“We are setting ourselves to create a party whose only function will be to produce candidates for elections,” says the organization. He claimed that people who had no desire to run for office now want to dominate the party’s electoral planning process to the detriment of their rivals.

The biggest threat facing us is “this madness of controlling structures of ADC.” We are being detested for various reasons by those of us who support the ADC’s commitment to an equal opportunity system.

The ADC chieftain also berated some party leaders for supporting some state candidates to win the state’s 2027 elections without providing fair leadership.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on everyone to stop this madness of trying to control ADC’s structures to the exclusion of so-called opponents,” I said in reference to the independence anniversary.

We must come to terms with working together if the ADC is to emerge as a strong party capable of defeating the APC in Kaduna State. Anyone who is unwilling to join a unified opposition in Kaduna State is actively working for the APC. I’m making this powerful appeal out of a deep sense of disappointment that our country is recklessly wasting an opportunity to give our citizens the leadership they need.

I want to ask Mal Nasir El-Rufai, Ja’afar Sani, and Bashir Sa’idu to stop encouraging aspiring candidates’ hatred of the ADC to the exclusion of ‘so-called opponents. I’ve tried talking to people who I can talk to on an individual level. Sadly, I must also acknowledge that I have made mistakes in many ways. My failure is reflected in our aggressive efforts to control the ADC’s structures in Zone two, Senator Musa Bello. Sen Lawal Adamu (Mr. LA) has resisted all of my requests to meet him because I have recently become friends with Senator Musa Bello.

I want to appeal to Mal particularly. Malay’s Nasir El-Rufai Alh. and Ja’afaru Sani. As the leader of the opposition in Kaduna State, ask Bashir Sa’idu to stop encouraging the insaneness of aspiring candidates who want to overtake the ADC’s structures to the exclusion of their ‘originaries.

“I have tried to talk to people who are capable of doing this.” Sadly, I must also acknowledge that I have made mistakes in many ways. My failure is reflected in the aggressive efforts of Sen. Musa Bello to control the ADC’s structures in Zone 2. In particular, because Sen. Lawal Adamu (Mr. La) is more recently associated with Sen. Musa Bello, I have resisted all of my requests to meet him.
