Atiku Condemns Police Summons of El-Rufai and ADC Leaders as Political Intimidation

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticized the police summons of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai and African Democratic Congress (ADC) leaders, calling it political intimidation. The Kaduna State Police Command invited seven ADC officials for questioning on various charges.

Atiku expressed concern over what he sees as a trend towards authoritarianism in Kaduna and referenced recent incidents in Katsina state. He warned against the brazen attack on El-Rufai and the ADC leaders, linking it to a violent disruption in Katsina.
