The Kaduna State Police Command has formally summoned the former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, along with seven prominent leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in connection with a series of serious criminal allegations. The accusations include criminal conspiracy, incitement of public disturbance, mischief, and causing grievous harm, prompting law enforcement to initiate a thorough investigation into the matter.
According to a police invitation letter dated September 4, 2025, and signed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police overseeing the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Uzainu Abdullahi, the ADC state chairman has been directed to ensure that the listed individuals appear at the State CID headquarters on September 8, 2025. The letter underscores the seriousness of the allegations and highlights the investigative steps the police intend to undertake to clarify the complaints lodged against the invitees.
Those named in the invitation include Bashir Sa’idu, Jafaru Sani, Ubaidullah Mohammed (popularly known as “30”), Nasiru Maikano, Aminu Abita, and Ahmed Rufa’i Hussaini, also known by his nickname “Mikiya.” The police letter, titled Investigation Activities: Case of Criminal Conspiracy, Inciting Disturbance of Public Peace, Mischief and Causing Grievous Hurt, explicitly mentions that the invitation is a direct response to complaints filed against these individuals and seeks their cooperation in the ongoing investigation.
The document states, “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.” This formal communication marks a significant step in the police’s efforts to address the reported incidents and underscores the gravity with which law enforcement is treating the allegations.
The Kaduna State Police Command has assured the public that all investigative procedures will be conducted in accordance with the law, emphasizing transparency and fairness in handling the matter. Observers note that the developments have drawn attention from political watchers and civil society groups, given the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the potential implications for political and social stability in the state.
Further updates are expected as the scheduled date for the appearance of El-Rufai and the other ADC leaders approaches, with the police promising to provide necessary briefings on the progress of the investigation to ensure accountability and adherence to due process.
