A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dino Melaye, on Wednesday accused the Kaduna State government of deploying policemen to shut down the venue being used by the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for a meeting.
Melaye said he hoped that the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Tunji Disu, did not endorse the alleged intimidation and was not aware of the situation.
Posting on X, the former Kogi West Senator described the situation as a gross disrespect to the North.
He wrote:
“Detachment of Policemen from Kaduna Government House has shut down the office of Arewa Consultative Forum in Kaduna ahead of the meeting with Atiku Abubakar tomorrow.
“What is this country turning to? I want to believe the IG is not aware of this gross disrespect to the North and her leadership.”
