Kaduna Police Clarifies Stance on ADC Rally Incident
The Kaduna State Police Command stated that it has never attempted to stop any lawful political gathering or peaceful assembly, emphasizing its respect for constitutional rights to freedom of expression and assembly. This clarification followed allegations from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) regarding an attack on its members during a rally organized by the Arise & Shine Isa Ashiru Support Group on Wednesday.
DSP Mansir Hassan explained that the police responded to a security situation at Murtala Square on September 9, 2026, after receiving a distress call about unknown individuals attempting to gain entry. Police personnel were deployed to maintain public order and advised that any event at Murtala Square required prior authorization.
After the situation was deemed under control, the police withdrew from the area. The ADC candidate criticized the police's actions, referencing a High Court ruling that declared attempts to suspend political gatherings unconstitutional.
