ADC's Tom Zakari Demands Justice After Violent Attack
Stakeholders in Kogi East Senatorial District condemned the violent disruption of an African Democratic Congress (ADC) ward meeting in Ejule-Alla, Ofu Local Government Area, which occurred last Tuesday and resulted in several injuries among party members. Suspected loyalists of a rival political party invaded the meeting at the residence of the Ejule-Alla Ward Chairman of the ADC, leading to chaos as political thugs opened fire.
The attack has heightened tensions in Ejule-Alla and surrounding areas. Tom Zakari, the State Chairman of the ADC, labeled the incident a “barbaric and unprovoked attack” and urged the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Admiral Usman Jibrin (rtd), a former Accord Party governorship candidate, also condemned the violence and called for peace as the 2027 elections approach. Dr. Farouk Achimugu, President of the Ejule Forum, emphasized the importance of communal peace and urged politicians to avoid actions that threaten unity.
