ADCPCC Denounces Police Disruption of Kano Rally
The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADCPCC) condemned the disruption of a rally titled “Tinubu Must Go” at The Avenue Event Center in Kano. The rally, organized by youths and led by Barrister Abba Hikima, was affected by the actions of the Kano State Police Command, which barricaded the venue and intimidated participants.
Despite this, the youths persisted in expressing their views. The ADCPCC also expressed concern over the reported arrest of the event center's owner for allegedly permitting the facility to be used for the rally.
The council emphasized that the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression is guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution as amended. It urged the Inspector-General of Police and the Kano State Police Command to ensure the immediate release of the event center owner if still in custody.
Additionally, the council called on civil society organizations and human rights groups to monitor developments regarding democratic freedoms and commended Barrister Abba Hikima and the participating youths for their determination.
